Goddess of Victory: Nikke strikes a home run with new baseball-themed update
Who's on first?
- Goddess of Victory: Nikke is set to introduce a new baseball-themed update
- Grab a new cheerleader outfit for Noir and the No. 77 Batter skin for Blanc
- There's also a brand-new SSR Nikke called K, with a chip on her shoulder and electric abilities
It's a known fact that, for Japanese sports fans, there's nothing quite as good as baseball. Having seen the huge crowds drawn to the Tokyo Dome myself, it doesn't surprise me that Goddess of Victory: Nikke is celebrating the start of summer with their own baseball-themed update.
Now, unfortunately, you won't get a themed mode with this update. But fans will be able to grab swanky new looks for their favourite Nikkes, all with a sports flair to them. Noir serves as a cheerleader, while Blanc lines up their strike as the No. 77 Batter. A '7 Days Login Event', which runs from May 29th to June 20th, offers you the chance to grab Noir's skin for free.
Better yet, this update also introduces a new SSR Nikke. K (no, not Tommy Lee Jones, I'm afraid) is an electric attacker with a chip on her shoulder and a distaste for humans that she keeps well-hidden, knowing she'd be on the scrap heap if it were revealed.
Considering we see other Nikkes in baseball skins for the trailer linked above, it wouldn't surprise me if we saw other characters get cosmetics down the line. But for the moment, it's Noir and Blanc taking a starring role in this update.
