NIKKE turns 3.5 and goes full idol-mode: new story, new units, and a mountain of freebies
Level Infinite and SHIFT UP used April 18 to push out the big 3.5th Anniversary beat for GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, centered on the “T.T. STAR” theme. The official messaging frames the update as both a narrative expansion and a reward-heavy reset moment: new characters tied to the idol storyline, story progression, and anniversary-grade incentives designed to pull lapsed players back in fast. Coverage of the broadcast highlights a very “anniversary playbook” rollout: headline new NIKKEs, a free SSR reward track, and a large pool of free recruitment opportunities to keep the community opening, streaming, and sharing pulls for days. The practical player impact is simple—this is the version where you log in even if you’ve been on a break, because the value window is highest now and the limited-time cadence is usually tight. Even if you don’t care about idols, anniversary updates tend to shift meta priorities (what to save for, what to build, and what content to rush).
