Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is kicking off the summer with a bang — and a few ghosts. The brand-new “Boom! The Ghost!” update is set to drop on July 17, 2025, and it’s packed with limited-time SSR characters, eerie story events, exclusive rewards, and real-world fan celebrations across the globe. Here’s everything you need to know about this hauntingly fun summer event.
A Spooky Cruise Adventure Awaits
Following the previous Over the Horizon storyline, this update whisks players away to the cruise ship Utopia for a ghostly summer escapade. The Nikkes are on a mission to unravel chilling mysteries aboard a ship full of secrets, battling their way through story chapters, unlocking rewards, and sporting festive new outfits.
Expect thrilling missions, strange twists, and that signature mix of action and style — all set to a spooky summer theme.
Meet Dorothy: Serendipity & New SSR Nikkes
Dorothy returns with a summer twist in her new Dorothy: Serendipity form, now armed with a shotgun named Ungrateful OZ. Still a Pilgrim creation and part of Inherit, Dorothy’s summer version brings out a curious side, driven by mysterious photos found on Rapi’s tablet.
