Level Infinite and developer SHIFT UP have revealed that Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is lining up a major crossover with Lycoris Recoil. The TV gun-fight anime collab will begin on February 12th, 2026. It marks the game’s third collaboration with an anime franchise and its first major crossover event of 2026.
Bringing together NIKKE’s sci-fi shooter setting and the anime’s close-quarters action
The Goddess of Victory: NIKKE x Lycoris Recoil collab will bring the anime protagonists Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue as playable characters. Both agents are being adapted with their recognisable fighting approaches reworked for NIKKE’s battlefield systems.
Their arrival also accompanies a new story event for the collaboration. It will focus on how the Lycoris agents and the Nikkes encounter one another and decide to cooperate against a common threat.
The teams have reinterpreted the anime’s visual elements through NIKKE’s darker, combat-driven art style. They include the red lycoris flowers and the imagery of Café LycoReco. So, you’ll see the post-apocalyptic tone shifting away a bit.
Level Infinite and SHIFT UP will share the detailed character stats, unique skills, and specific mission rewards in the coming week. Meanwhile, the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE x Lycoris Recoil collaboration is letting players win prizes, including original merchandise and Amazon Gift Cards.
