Global gaming brand Level Infinite and game developer SHIFT UP have announced a major crossover event for the hit mobile RPG shooter Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, teaming up with the award-winning anime Lycoris Recoil. Revealed on February 2, 2026, the collaboration will officially launch on Thursday, February 12, 2026, bringing the elite agents of the critically acclaimed gun-action anime into the world of NIKKE.
Set to highlight the high-intensity shooting action and striking visual identities of both franchises, the NIKKE x Lycoris Recoil crossover will introduce fan-favorite characters Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue as playable units within the game. The two Lycoris agents will be reimagined for the NIKKE battlefield, complete with combat styles inspired by their signature abilities from the anime and adapted to fit the game’s tactical shooter gameplay.
In addition to new playable characters, the collaboration will feature an original narrative event created specifically for the crossover. This new storyline will explore how the Lycoris agents intersect with the Nikkes, as the two worlds collide and the characters join forces to confront a shared and dangerous threat. The event is designed to deepen the crossover experience by blending storytelling elements from both universes.
Visually, the update will merge the distinctive aesthetics of Lycoris Recoil with NIKKE’s gritty, combat-driven world. Iconic elements from the anime, including the red lycoris flowers and recognizable motifs from Café LycoReco, will be woven into the game’s environments and artwork, creating a unique and engaging visual presentation that reflects the identities of both properties.
