NIKKE Goddess of Victory x Stellar Blade Collab Explained

Goddess of Victory Nikke

The crossover you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived, Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and Stellar Blade are joining forces in a major collaboration that mixes shooter-gacha mechanics with action RPG flair. Here’s a deep dive into everything fans need to know about this exciting event.

What Is the NIKKE × Stellar Blade Collaboration?

This is a two-way crossover between two titles by Shift Up, integrated so that both games benefit from shared content. On the Stellar Blade side, there’s a DLC titled GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, which adds content inspired by NIKKE’s world. Meanwhile, in NIKKE, players gain access to Stellar Blade characters, new story chapters, events, and themed cosmetics.

The collaboration officially launched on June 12, 2025 for both PC and mobile NIKKE platforms.

New Characters & Skins

One of the biggest draws is the introduction of Stellar Blade characters into the NIKKE roster:

  • EVE: Joins as an SSR Attacker. She triggers extra attacks on critical hits and applies debuffs depending on the enemy’s element.
  • Raven: Also an SSR Attacker. Her damage scales when she destroys enemy parts, and she can unleash powerful AoE attacks with her Burst.
  • Lily: A SR Supporter character who enhances allies’ attack stats and replenishes their cover during battle.

In addition to new units, limited-time skins are available for EVE, Raven, and Scarlet. EVE’s “Skin Suit” costume enters the costume gacha pool starting June 19 (UTC+9) in NIKKE.

Story & Events: “MEMORIES TELLER” & Native Raid

The collab isn’t just cosmetic, it brings a new story event titled MEMORIES TELLER, where players explore an underwater region, meet new NPCs, and unravel ties between the worlds. The narrative kicks off with a robot named Roam discovering evidence of human presence on the Earth’s surface, leading to new conflicts in both universes.

There’s also a 3D mini-game called “Native Raid”, which features cinematic boss battles drawn from the Stellar Blade universe. Additionally, the DLC in Stellar Blade includes a one-on-one boss showdown with Scarlet. Defeating her unlocks a costume, hairstyle, and song for EVE.

Other fun features:

  • A themed cosmetic shop run by NIKKE’s robotic dog, Volt
  • A fishing minigame allowing players to collect NIKKE items in Stellar Blade’s DLC

How the Mechanics Fit Together

Because both games share a developer, the collab is tightly integrated rather than feeling tacked-on.

In Stellar Blade, the DLC adds new levels, cosmetics, and a boss fight, leveraging its action RPG roots.

In NIKKE, the inclusion of Stellar Blade characters adds fresh tactical possibilities, new story beats, and limited events for gacha players. The June 12 update patch also includes new events, costume drops, optimizations, and UI adjustments.

What Fans Are Saying & What Lies Ahead

The crossover generated major excitement. As one Reddit user put it:

“I started playing NIKKE a few weeks ago because of this collab … I’m enjoying both tbh.”

Many are praising the collaborative depth. “Instead of just a small event and new gacha units they add a new story,” a fan remarked.

Speculation continues about how deep future integration can go, but one thing is clear: this collab is more than just characters in skins, it’s a bridge between two SHIFT UP universes, giving fans reasons to explore and invest in both titles.
