    NIKKE Making Waves: Level Infinite and SHIFT UP Drop Massive ‘Wave To You’ Summer Update

    Commanders, grab your sunscreen and get ready to deploy. The temperature is rising, and so is the action!

    Level Infinite and SHIFT UP have officially launched “Wave To You,” the highly anticipated summer update for the award-winning sci-fi RPG shooter GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE. The tide has officially rolled in, and the update is available to play right now across both PC and mobile platforms.

    Blending NIKKE’s signature heartfelt storytelling with seaside adventures, this massive seasonal update drops players onto a mysterious tropical getaway packed with exclusive characters, sizzling swimsuit cosmetics, a cosy arcade mini-game, and a colossal new boss encounter.

    Here is everything crashing ashore in the “Wave To You” update:

    The Story: Secrets of South Burst Island

    The summer event kicks off when the Commander receives a mysterious package containing an old photograph and a ticket to South Burst Island. Accompanied by Cinderella, what starts as a relaxing beach vacation quickly takes an unexpected turn.

    At the same time, Marciana is leading her students (Tia and Naga) on a “graduation trip.” When a sudden, violent whirlpool traps both groups together in an isolated sector of the sea, they must work together to explore the tropical paradise—only to discover that this is no ordinary island, and dark secrets are lurking just beneath the waves.

    New Character Variants & Unique Mechanics

    The update introduces stunning new limited SSR summer variants that bring both fashion and incredible utility to your squad:

    Cinderella: Crystal Wave (Available July 2 – July 23)

    Cinderella makes her highly anticipated debut in a gorgeous swimsuit crafted for her by Grave. This unit introduces a unique, interactive gameplay mechanic: players can tap her standing pose to trigger a hidden black swimsuit variant!

    Marciana: Marine Study (Available July 9 – July 30)

    Ever-vigilant and highly suspicious that this “vacation” is actually a hidden test, Marciana heads to the beach. Embarrassed by the revealing swimsuit her students picked out for her, she sports a cosy penguin outfit over it to balance beach fashion with her signature discipline.

    Sizzling Exclusive Summer Costumes

    It wouldn’t be a NIKKE summer update without a fresh lineup of seasonal cosmetics. This year’s collection features a beautiful blend of romance and style:

    • Gacha Costume – Little Mermaid: Shell Princess: The 2nd Generation Grimms model (frequently called “Siren”) brings a bittersweet first-love romance to the island. She wields Spindrift, a liquid polymetal alloy that forms bubbles dynamically, creating a protective “shell” around her beautiful swimsuit design.
    • Summer Pass Costumes: * Tia: Sea Lizzie: The sugary-dessert-loving graduate student gets a sunny, vibrant new look perfect for eating sweet treats on the beach.
      • Naga: Ring Ensemble: The unflappable big sister figure of the Dazzling Pearl squad gets an elegant ensemble that matches the summer heat.

    New Content: Island Breaker Mini-Game & The Island Lurker Boss

    Island Breaker Mini-Game

    Need a break from the intense firearm action? Dive into Island Breaker, a cozy, addictive Puzzle Bobble-style arcade mini-game. Players bounce balls to destroy beach debris and fend off waves of Raptures, earning seashells to upgrade their attacks and chain together massive combo rewards.

    Boss Battle: The Island Lurker

    When you are ready to face the real danger, look beneath the ocean floor. Players will face off against a terrifying, adapted variant of the Land Eater—a colossus so massive it has literally taken on the physical form of an entire island lurking under the waves.

    Huge Future Teasers: Anime Expo & Persona Crossover!

    The excitement doesn’t stop in-game. Level Infinite confirmed that GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE is returning to Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center, featuring interactive booths, official cosplayers, and exclusive merchandise.

    Even bigger? The developers dropped a bombshell teaser for later this year: An official collaboration with the iconic Persona series (Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4, and Persona 5) is officially on the way!
