Evangelion Characters Head to NIKKE for New Crossover

Shift Up announced that the next Goddess of Victory: NIKKE crossover will involve Evangelion characters. There is no exact start date for the event, with the official key art and first video only noting it is “coming soon.”

First, here’s the key art for the NIKKE event that features five Evangelion characters. From left to right, we can see Pen Pen, Misato Katsuragi, Mari Makinami Illustrious, Rei Ayanami, and Asuka Shikinami Langley. Given Mari’s appearance, this seems to be based on the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. On the right, we see Rapi, Anis, Neon, and Rei.

The first trailer features a computer with various news clips appearing. It starts with a pleasant Welcome Ceremony page that features Rei in the upper right corner commenting on the transfer students. After that, breaking news with Neon appears discussing a laser attack and D-Waves. There’s then a notice of a power outage at the Ark. The familiar Evangelion warning appears after that, and it seems we get a glimpse of the Sixth Angel. This is followed by the key art imagery.

This is the second recent crossover for NIKKE. One featuring the game Dave the Diverappeared in July 2024. It will be the third one tied to an anime series, as the previous two involved Chainsaw Man and Re:Zero.

Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the Evangelion characters and event are “coming soon.”
