This week, developer SHIFT UP and publisher Level Infinite revealed their latest New Years update to their ongoing free-to-play on-rails shooter ‘GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE’, bringing about a new Nikke for players to pull for, costumes for fan favourites, rewards, and a collaboration event beginning next month with Meet Fresh USA. The update is now live as of 6AM ET (11AM GMT) and more details on what’s included can be found below. Plus, the team teased another in-game collaboration event is coming in the future—particularly within the first half of 2026.
This update’s centerpiece is Snow White: Heavy Arms, a legendary Nikke enhanced with advanced Eden technology and returning to the battlefield after her defeat by the Queen. With her memories fully restored, Snow White reclaims her original resolute personality while carrying a lingering grudge against the Queen for her disrespect toward Liliweiss. Commanders can now deploy this formidable android and unleash her enhanced abilities in the ongoing war against the Raptures.
Three popular NIKKEs are receiving limited-time stylish new looks:
Alice – Märchen Dream: A member of the Unlimited squad tasked with safeguarding frozen zones, Alice’s new costume captures her whimsical worldview, transforming the battlefield into a fairytale-like kingdom.
Emma: Tactical Upgrade – Secret Therapy: Through a major enhancement under the Tactical Upgrade program, Emma is outfitted with advanced equipment that significantly boosts her combat support capabilities.
Quency: Escape Queen – Masquerade Swan: As she prepares her next ingenious escape from the Rehabilitation Center, Quency debuts a striking new Masquerade Swan outfit that matches her flair for the dramatic.
As for those rewards:
As a special thank-you to all loyal Commanders, the New Year’s Eve Update delivers the largest reward campaign of 2025, offering up to 100 free pulls across multiple in-game events:
