Publisher Level Infinite and developer Shift Up have announced that the limited-time collaboration features characters, outfits, and artwork from Evangelion, alongside a new story. The company has also released official illustrations for the main characters in their battle outfits, and announced a giveaway that includes both in-game and real-world items, including an EVA figure and a hoodie.
Nikke has partnered up with quite a few anime titles before, including a Chainsaw Man collaboration in February 2023. Goddess of Victory: Nikke is a third-person sci-fi shooter available on iOS, Android, and PC. Players can take control of one of the many different characters, using cover to shoot down massive robots. Similar to Shift Up’s recent PS5 title, Stellar Blade, Nikke is set in a post-apocalyptic world invaded by robots from another dimension. Nikke has garnered attention for its attractive designs and plethora of female characters to collect and upgrade.

NIKKE X Evangelion: The Crossover Event That Fans Have Been Waiting For
The Evangelion crossover is NIKKE's fifth crossover event. The first event involved the Chainsaw Man anime adaptation, while the second added characters from NieR: Automata, including crossover queen 2B. The third event added characters from the Re:Zero anime series, while the fourth crossover was more of a mini-event coinciding with the game's summer seasonal festivities. That crossover added a minigame and costumes based on Dave the Diver.
Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is available on mobile and PC with the Evangelion crossover event beginning on August 22, 2024. This event will end on September 19, 2024.
