Goddess of Victory: NIKKE (hereinafter NIKKE) Director Hyung-suk Yoo has unveiled this year's roadmap via the latest developer note. Players can look forward to four major story updates and two new Solo Raid Museum bosses.

Shift Up's Director Yoo released the year's first developer note on the 26th. The main narrative is scheduled for four quarterly updates—February, April, August, and October—with additional side stories arriving in April and October. These updates aim to flesh out the backstories of various CEOs and dive deeper into the mysterious history of Oswald.

Director Yoo noted, "The February update serves as a bridge, wrapping up loose ends while setting the stage for what is to come. It is a build-up phase, but one packed with scenes we hope will leave a lasting impact." He also teased that he has high expectations for the main and event stories slated for the 4th-anniversary celebration.

On the combat front, the Solo Raid Museum will welcome new bosses in February and July. February sees the arrival of Alteisen [P.S.I.D.] (Season 4), Modernia [D.M.T.R.] (Season 6), and Stormbringer [A.N.M.I.] (Season 11). Furthermore, the Challenge Mode will soon support replayability, and a higher-difficulty 'EX Raid' (placeholder name) will replace the year-end Solo Raid.

The team is also focusing on tightening gameplay loops and cutting out unnecessary fatigue to keep the experience polished. Prioritizing stability in combat is the main goal. Additionally, new 'Treasures' (equipment) are arriving in February and July, with the first batch featuring Mukden, Zwei, Centi, and Privaty.

Meanwhile, the 'Surface Content' previously teased has been indefinitely shelved. The progression materials originally tied to it will now be distributed through other channels. Director Yoo explained, "Refining that content would require over 100 iterative improvements. We decided it is better to pour our resources into the core narrative—characters, story, visuals, and music—rather than expanding onto the surface right now."

Director Yoo concluded, "We are working to deepen the bond between our players and the world of NIKKE. We plan to share more about our ongoing research and development regarding the narrative throughout this year and into the next."
