Shift Up promised the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE 3rd anniversary showcase would appear at the end of October 2025, and now we know everything about the story, characters, and new Surface Mode that will appear when that goes live on October 30, 2025. The SSR characters Chime, Liberalio, and Nayuta will debut this patch, and the story will focus on their preparations for the fight against the Queen. As part of this celebration, which runs until November 20, 2025, we can all get 10 Advanced Recruit Vouchers, 10 Selective Recruitment Exclusive Vouchers, and Chime as part of the anniversary event and get more Advanced Recruit Vouchers, development materials and a 3rd Anniversary Nikke Selection Box with Chime, Rapunzel: Pure Grace, or Snow White: Innocent Days in the Route of Queen login event. Chime is also earned during the Goddess Fall story.
The new Goddess of Victory: NIKKE characters will come up in story chapters 41 and 42. These are called “At Last, the Long-Awaited Birth” and “The One and Only Wish.” Shift Up established that this is the start of the “end” of the story. Nayuta is the leader of the Pioneer Squad forces, which include Chime and Liberalio. Now that the Queen’s become the true threat and a more imminent enemy, this group will work with Eden to fight back.
