Level Infinite, a global game brand dedicated to delivering high-quality and engaging interactive entertainment, announced today the unveiling of the latest updates—including a summer event, new SSR NIKKE, and out-of-game initiatives—during the summer commemorative special broadcast "Survival!? Deserted Island Exploration Operation!" aired on June 27, 2026 (Sat). The broadcast was co-produced with SHIFT UP, the developer of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, a gun-girl RPG themed around battlefield gunfire and bonds—Earth Reclamation RPG.
The broadcast featured a wide range of exciting announcements, including seasonal event details, limited-time NIKKE, new costumes, mini-games, real-world events, and exhibition information. Below is a summary of the key highlights revealed during the stream.
New Full-Voice Story Event "WAVE TO YOU" Announced
A new full-voice story event titled "WAVE TO YOU" will be launched this summer! The story begins when Marjuna's group, on a graduation trip, and Cinderella's group, traveling to find Hansel and Gretel, are both pulled into a mysterious vortex and unexpectedly meet in a strange, impassable sea zone. As the groups cooperate to explore the island, they gradually realize that this island is no ordinary place. Don't miss this summer seaside adventure where the motivations and journeys of multiple characters intertwine.
New Summer-Themed SSR NIKKE Revealed
Two new SSR NIKKE were unveiled during the broadcast, arriving alongside the summer event. First is SSR NIKKE "Cinderella: Crystal Wave," appearing in a limited-time gacha. Implemented as a damage-dealing NIKKE, she attacks enemies using her glass slippers. Upon activating her Burst Skill, she enhances her offensive capabilities and deals massive damage to multiple enemies.
Additionally, SSR NIKKE "Marjuna: Marine Study" will also appear in a limited-time gacha. Depicted as supervising a graduation trip, this damage-dealing NIKKE grows stronger as the number of Raptures decreases. Her Burst Skill allows her to strengthen herself while attacking enemies.
Look forward to the exciting combat and vibrant summer aesthetics of these two new characters.
New and Reissued Limited-Time Costumes Announced
New limited-time costumes were also revealed: "Little Mermaid - Shell Princess," "Tia - Sea Lizzie," and "Naga - Ring Ensemble."
Alongside these, popular summer-themed limited-time costumes from previous years will return. Reissued costumes include "Pepper - Ocean Vitamin," "Yang - Sunrise Market," "Guilty - Disbelief Wave," "Maiden - Under the Sun," "Tove - Sun Blaze," and "Centi - Ocean Repair," bringing back beloved summer looks.
Reappearance of Past Limited NIKKE and Treasure Updates
In conjunction with the summer event, past limited-time NIKKE will return via gacha, along with updates to the Treasure system. SSR NIKKE "Dorothy: Serendipity," who set sail to find a new paradise, and SSR NIKKE "Elegy: Boom and Shock," who debuted with a splash in her swimsuit, are both scheduled to return. This is a great opportunity for Commanders who missed them previously to welcome them to their teams.
Summer Event Animation and New Mini-Game Added
A new animation will be added to the summer event. The animation can be viewed by clearing the final stage of "STORY II - Normal Stage" within "WAVE TO YOU." Be sure to experience this emotional cinematic within the game.
Additionally, a new mini-game titled "ISLAND BREAKER" will be introduced. In this game, players must destroy debris washed ashore to protect the beauty of the sea. By bouncing a ball to break debris and Raptures, players must find the optimal launch angle to clear wreckage—a refreshing and satisfying gameplay experience.
