On December 30th, 'Goddess of Victory: NIKKE' kicked off its New Year story event. It features a fully-voiced narrative delving into the past of the Goddess Squad. Alongside this, the new Nikke 'Snow White: Heavy Arms' joins the roster, and the long-awaited 'Rapi: Red Hood' rerun is scheduled to begin.

The new story event, 'ARK GUARDIAN', takes us back to the days of the eponymous operation through Snow White's eyes. Running from December 30th until January 20th, 2026, the event follows the structure of clearing stages to obtain recruitment tickets and progression materials. To keep you engaged, there is also the 'UNTIL CLOSE' event, rewarding 14 days of cumulative login with recruitment tickets and jewels.

The new Nikke, Snow White: Heavy Arms, is a Water-code attacker who excels at shredding through crowds with impressive firepower. As for the returning Rapi: Red Hood, she remains a versatile powerhouse capable of switching Burst stages to suit the heat of battle. You can obtain both via dedicated pick-up banners from January 1st to January 22nd, 2026. Furthermore, a New Year Step-Up banner featuring an SSR Nikke selection ticket and a Pilgrim-guaranteed recruitment will go live on January 1st.

Limited-time combat content is also waiting to test your mettle. Union Raids run from January 2nd to 8th, followed by Solo Raids from the 8th to the 15th. Between January 2nd and 4th, you’ll need to team up for the Co-op Operation to take down 'Chatterbox'. In addition, fresh limited costumes for popular Nikkes like Alice and Quency are also making an appearance. You can view full details via the official lounge or the in-game notices.
