Shift Up promised two Goddess of Victory: NIKKE crossovers in 2026, and it revealed one of them will involve the anime series Lycoris Recoil. Only a teaser image is available at the moment, and it seems to promise that both Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue will be present. We’ll know more for certain as the event date draws nearer, as it will start on February 12, 2026.
The official announcement included art showing off characters from the anime and the game, as well as some trademark elements from the series. Chisato and Takina are front and center. The hacker Kurumi is on the left, suggesting she could be the free SR unit given away during the event. The lycoris flowers also appear in the background. All three Cafe Sweety NIKKEs also showed up in the art too, with Frima, Milk, and Sugar there.
We’ve seen a number of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE anime crossovers before the Lycoris Recoil one. Evangelion showed up multiple times, with additional characters showing up each time. Chainsaw Manand Re:Zerofolks also showed up during special events.
Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is available on the PC and mobile devices. Lycoris Recoil light novels and manga are handled outside Japan via Yen Press, while the anime is on Crunchyroll. The crossover event between the two will show up on February 12, 2026.
