 Nikke: Goddess of Vicotry  is an upcoming third-person shooter game developed by Shift Up and published by Level Infinite. The game will release globally for Android and iOS in late 2022. The role-playing game is free-to-play and features a gacha game system as a method for monetization.

 Nikke  sets in a post-apocalyptic future where the world was taken over by extraterrestrial creatures. The story follows the Nikke who are manufactured soldiers commanded to retake the planet and restore humanity.

==Gameplay==  Goddess of Victory: Nikke  is a role-playing video game in which the player controls one of up to five interchangeable characters (Nikkes) who are spread in a row and positioned behind a defensive object on a battlefield. A third-person shooter, the player can aim a reticle to shoot at enemies  and take cover to reload, which automatically happens when a Nikke is out of ammunition. Each character wields her own firearm and has three unique combat skills: two normal skills and one Burst skill, the latter is assigned with a numerical value of up to three and requires users to accumulate enough cost, amassable through damaging enemies, before activating the initial skill; subsequent one can be activated immediately and a temporary Full Burst mode is entered upon triggering the final skill, which increases the attack power of all allies. New characters are obtainable via a gacha game system, which costs in-game currency —obtainable by playing the game or through microtransactions —to use. The game features a cooperative multiplayer and player versus player mode of up to five players per world.

Rewards used to enhance characters' strengths are obtainable when completing story adventures, challenges, limited-time events and by solving puzzles. By completing battles, players receive items that can be exchanged for character enhancing materials and currencies used for the  gacha  system.

==Story== ===Setting===  Nikke  takes place in a post-apocalyptic far future where the Earth was unexpectedly attacked by unknown mechanical creatures called the Rapture who destroyed everything on the surface, forcing the remaining humans to take refuge underground and establish the Ark. Decades later, several manufacturers worked on building humanoid soldiers called the Nikke to be used as a weapon to defeat the Raptures and restore mankind on the surface.

==Development and release==  Nikke  was developed by South Korean-based company Shift Up working with publisher Level Infinite. Development began in 2018 and the game was first revealed at the Crank in Showcase event in 2019, with several trade exhibitions being held ahead of its release, such as at G-Star or Tokyo Game Show. The two companies hosted closed beta tests for the global version between the announcement and its release, allowing selected registrants to test the game mechanics. The game was initially planned for a worldwide release for Android and iOS in 2020, but was rescheduled to November 4, 2022, surpassing three million pre-registrations ahead of the date. The game contains voice-overs in English, Japanese and Korean.

 Nikke  was originally planned to be played from a first person perspective but was later changed to incorporate battle poses inspired by the Gears of War series.< ref name=":17" /> Shift Up's CEO Kim Hyung-tae, who was responsible for the production and illustrations, believed that chibi art style is too compressed and opted for life-size illustrations "where the aesthetics of characters would be completely demonstrated."
