Level Infinite’s third-person shooter GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE has launched to get an exciting collaboration with SQUARE ENIX’s award winning NieR: Automata on September 1, 2023, and it looks to bring the game’s characters 2B, A2, 9S, and Pascal into the world of NIKKE. The event will officially run from September 1 through September 27 on PC and mobile and will come with a story that explains how these two universes collide
Both NIKKE and NieR: Automata feature androids fighting against impossible odds to save humanity and their homes, so it will be interesting to see what happens when they finally meet. Will 2B, A2, and 9S cause the NIKKEs to obtain self-consciousness? Will they grow together for good or will problems arise that threaten everything?
Besides the blended storyline, players will also be rewarded for participating in this collaboration. Some of the exclusive rewards include Pascal as a free SR character, 2B and A2 costumes that will unlock after players get them as playable characters, two free Avatars (white frame and YoRHa frame), and free wallpaper. 2B and A2 will also be getting their NieR: Automata Metamorphic Damage Costumes that will be unlocked as long as 2B and A2 are in their recruitment. Fans of NieR: Automata will be delighted to know their favorite characters will also be getting an updated look that retains the original NieR’s style and applies it to NIKKE’s dynamic technology that will make the characters even more vivid. 2B will get a brand-new weapon design that can only be seen in NIKKE.
While all the details have yet to be revealed about what fans can expect from this team-up, it is confirmed that 9S’ hacking game from NieR: Automata will make its way into NIKKE.
Furthermore, there will be a special coordinated operation called Gatekeeper that will see an exclusive boss appear in the collaboration event’s co-op mode. As if this collaboration wasn’t already a perfect match, fans will also appreciate that NieR: Automata’s 2B and NIKKE’s Rapi both share a voice actor in Yui Ishikawa.
GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE is an immersive sci-fi RPG shooter that features an extensive roster of maidens that players can create the ultimate anime girl squad with, complete with guns and unique sci-fi weapons that are capable of taking down any foe in the right hands. Oh, and these NIKKE are artificial soldiers created to save humanity in a post-apocalyptic future on an Earth that was invaded by mechanical aliens.
NieR: Automata was first released in 2017 from PlatinumGames and Square Enix and is set during the war between alien-created machines and human-created androids. What made NieR: Automata so special was the fact that players would need to complete multiple playthroughs to experience the entire story, which allowed them to view specific events from different characters’ perspectives.
In IGN’s NieR: Automata review, we said it is a “crazy, beautiful, and highly entertaining journey full of nutty ideas and awesome gameplay. It may not include the most sensical story or compelling characters, but its frenzied combat -- coupled with beautiful visuals and a stunning soundtrack – make it too much fun to pass up.”
Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is free-to-play and can be downloaded on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and the official websitefor PC version. For those playing on the PC, they can expect a more smooth gameplay experience! NieR: Automata, on the other hand, is available on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
The Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and NieR: Automata collaboration will run from September 1 through September 27 on both PC and mobile and will feature a new story, exclusive rewards, and new art for your favorite characters.
