Goddess of Victory: Nikke Teams Up With Resident Evil in Crossover Teased at Future Games Show
Shift Up is keeping the momentum on Goddess of Victory: Nikke, its free-to-play action RPG, with another high-profile crossover. The collaboration with Capcom’s Resident Evil franchise was unveiled during the Future Games Show, accompanied by a teaser that hints at a darker, horror-infused crossover event.
The teaser centers on a Nikke character cowering as a sinister summoning ritual unfolds. An unseen ghoul’s hand grips her shoulder, and the scene shifts to two silhouettes approaching a mansion. Inside, a row of seemingly lifeless Nikkes and a scientist in a lab coat appear, before a cartoon Jill Valentine is shown firing a shot. Beyond Jill, only speculation remains about which other Resident Evil icons will appear; one approaching figure seems reminiscent of Leon Kennedy.
Key details are still under wraps: no date has been announced for the Nikke x Resident Evil crossover. Players eager to participate can download Goddess of Victory: Nikke for free to get a head start ahead of any event window.
Nikke has a track record of crossovers that broaden its appeal, including collaborations with Nier Automata, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Dave the Diver. This latest partnership with Resident Evil continues that strategy, potentially drawing horror fans into Nikke’s stylish, anime-inspired world.
What this could mean for players
– A new storytelling angle: Evil-savvy visuals and familiar RE guest stars could add a darker tone to Nikke’s universe.
– Limited-time events: Expect TPS-style co-op or story-driven event missions tied to the Resident Evil theme.
– Cross-fanbase appeal: Nikke players get to meet iconic RE characters, while Resident Evil fans may discover Nikke’s fast-paced action and gacha-lite progression.
