When it comes to gacha games, there are always collaborations that lead to other shows or games’ elements popping up into them for a limited time. In the case of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, we’ve gotten to see a surprising number of crossover characters from other series joining more familiar units. Folks keep popping up in Shift Up’s world, even if they’re unexpected ones like the heroines of NieR: Automata. While 2026 marks a focus more on original storylines and characters, two new crossovers are coming and there are always reruns of ones you might have missed.

How many Goddess of Victory: NIKKE crossover events happened so far?
Since the the 2022 launch of NIKKE, Shift Up arranged for four crossover events with anime series and four other games so far. (Though since there is an anime adaptation of NieR: Automata, you could argue it’s five anime series!) Of those four, three involved characters from the other property appearing as a playable unit in the game.
The first crossover to appear was a Chainsaw Man one. That showed up in February 2023. The second was a NieR: Automata event. It followed shortly after in September 2023. The first crossover in 2024 involved the series Re:Zero. That started in March 2024. Finally, we saw the Dave the Diver event begin in June 2024. The Dave the Diver one is the only crossover to not feature characters from that game as new playable units, with existing characters Helm, Anchor, and Mast being featured with new costumes instead. Evangelion characters appeared for the first time in August 2024, with a rerun showing up after that. Shift Up’s Stellar Blade heroine came to NIKKE in June 2025. Three Resident Evil heroines joined the cast in September 2025. Finally, the first crossover in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE in 2026 involves the anime Lycoris Recoil.
