Goddess of Victory: Nikke is easily one of the most popular sci-fi shooters, and for good reason. Millions of fans tune in daily to control their favorite characters while enjoying multiple rewards every time a special occasion comes around. The most recent occasion has to be the upcoming 2.5 livestream event that the game’s developer announced. While nothing’s known about what the event will reveal, the one thing every fan’s sure of is that it’ll be big.
When is the Goddess of Victory: Nikke 2.5 anniversary event?
The 2.5-year anniversary livestream for Goddess of Victory: Nikke is scheduled for April 19, 2025, at 6:30 AM EDT. There will be a 30-minute countdown before the main event so that fans can prepare. Fans will likely use that time to socialize in the comment section as everyone tries to guess what the event will reveal. Others will likely compare how much money they’ve already spent on the game despite it being less than three years old. Of course, those who know about LootBar will win this specific debate.
The stream will be live on the official @NIKKEEN YouTube channel. The event will begin at 7:00 PM, which aligns with past anniversary streams. Considering Goddess of Victory: Nikke came out on November 3, 22, it’s only natural that players can also expect a similar live stream when the third anniversary rolls around.
What will the Goddess of Victory: Nikke 2.5 anniversary event have?
Based on previous broadcasts, the 2.5-year celebrations will have major announcements, like new characters, story updates, and in-game rewards. Shift Up has a history of using these streams to reveal new SSR units, especially high-class Nikkes, which are some of the rarest and strongest in the game. Looking at the pattern from previous events, players can expect at least one new playable character tied to the story.
The livestream might showcase exclusive anniversary events, like limited-time missions, co-op raids, or login bonuses. The 1.5-anniversary event had three selector boxes that allowed players to unlock their favorite characters. These events also drop recruitment vouchers. Some fans believe Shift Up might announce a new mini-game in the stream.
Regardless of what the event announces, it’ll likely only be a teaser for larger things to come. Remember, this is only the 2.5-anniversary event, while the third-anniversary event will likely take place later this year, revealing much larger things and opportunities to claim your favorite characters.
►What did the previous Nikke anniversary event show?
The 2nd Anniversary event, which was in October 2024, had the following highlights:
- New SSR Characters: The introduction of Cinderella, Grave, and Rapunzel.
- Story Event: “Old Tales” was a story event that let players look at previous events through Cinderella’s POV.
- Mini-game: “In the Mirror,” a Metroidvania-style game where players can traverse the mirror world.
Considering the upcoming event isn’t a complete live stream, fans likely shouldn’t expect anything as big as the second-anniversary event. However, just the fact that the marketing team is building so much suspense is enough to ensure that something big will be announced.
How to prepare for the Goddess of Victory: Nikke 2.5 anniversary event?
With the live stream coming soon, players should start saving their gems for time-limited items, so they should complete every event mission and claim every daily login reward to help maximize the rewards. The biggest reward will likely be locked behind a premium paywall, so topping up on Goddess of Victory: Nikke gems before the event may be the way to go.
Also, fans should watch Shift Up’s official social media accounts because they can drop livestream gift codes during the event, which could feature free pulls, credits, and other valuable items. These social media accounts are also likely to give some hints to fans as the days leading up to the event shorten. If you’re someone who wants to know about everything before others, then there’s also the option to follow social media accounts that specialize in leaking Nikke content.
Conclusion
Most may assume that 2.5 years is a weird anniversary to celebrate, but fans of Nikke likely don’t think the same. A developer that looks for any reason to hold events for fans and reward them with in-game goodies is the type of developer gacha fans worldwide wish for. Of course, there’s also the fact that Goddess of Victory: Nikke has some of the most unique character designs in any game, and LootBar makes it easier to acquire them without much difficulty. The upcoming event is only the beginning, as Nikke’s generational run is just beginning.
