NIKKE Summer Update Brings Ghost Ships, Swimsuits, and IRL Events You Won’t Want To Miss

The summer heat just got a whole lot more intense for GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE fans. Level Infinite just dropped the full details for NIKKE’s Hot Summer Season update, and it’s packing more than just in-game content. From a supernatural cruise ship mystery to a real-world Doro Family tour and an orchestral concert, the NIKKE summer update is going all out this season—and then some.

A Ghost Story On the High Seas: “BOOM! THE GHOST!” Launches July 17

This summer’s story event isn’t just beach vibes and sunburns. Titled BOOM! THE GHOST!, it takes players aboard an abandoned cruise liner on the Surface. What starts as a simple recon mission quickly spirals into a supernatural encounter, with the squad forced to develop ghost-hunting gear just to survive.

And yes, the drip is real—swimsuits are back in full force.

Here’s What You’re Getting in the NIKKE Summer Update:

New SSR Characters:

Dorothy: Serendipity – She’s chasing after the mysterious silhouette of Pinne, her precious wings.
Elegg: Boom and Shock – Intrigued by a powered ship adrift at sea, Elegg’s got her eyes on uncovering the truth.

Swimsuit Drops:

Three new summer swimsuits are making their debut.
Four fan-favorite summer costumes are also returning for the event.

New Challenges:

A boss battle and a brand-new mini-game will give players more to grind and flex.
