Level Infinite announced today that GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, the sci fi RPG shooter with adorable android NIKKEs developed and self-published by SHIFT UP, will launch its second collaboration with the iconic anime Evangelion franchise on February 20.

The NIKKE x Evangelion crossover features a special storyline set in the world of Evangelion as well as fan-favorite characters like Asuka: WILLE, Rei Ayanami (Tentative Name), and Sakura (Toji’s sister). Additionally, due to the overwhelming popularity of last summer’s first collaboration, Asuka Shikinami Langley, Rei Ayanami, and Mari Makinami Illustrious will be available again, giving players another chance to obtain them. Players can also look forward to exclusive character outfits (including free skins), a stunning 3D event map and a new mini-game.

During Wednesday’s Sony’s State of Play event Shift Up, the developer behind both NIKKE and Stellar Blade, confirmed a June 2025 launch date for the previously announced Stellar Blade x NIKKE in-game collaboration. While the specific details are still under wraps, this crossover promises to celebrate the unique connection between these games. Stellar Blade, the action-adventure game set on a post-apocalyptic Earth, is renowned for its stunning visuals, immersive storytelling, and dynamic combat—hallmarks that also define NIKKE.

The collaboration trailer released unveils the newly introduced characters Asuka: WILLE, Rei Ayanami (Tentative Name), and Sakura, immersing viewers in a high stakes battle against the backdrop of the Red Sea. The action-packed footage showcases Evangelion Unit Two and Evangelion Mark.09 in dramatic combat sequences, alongside the Ark’s formidable battleship Admire. The tension escalates as they engage in a thrilling showdown against the enigmatic Gatekeeper, promising an unforgettable clash of power and strategy.
