NIKKE Resident Evil Collaboration Release Date: Jill Valentine, Ada Wong & Claire Redfield Coming September 24
The mobile gaming world is buzzing with excitement as Goddess of Victory: NIKKE announces its highly anticipated collaboration with Capcom's legendary Resident Evil franchise, launching September 24, 2025. This crossover brings survival horror's most iconic heroines into the post-apocalyptic battlefields of NIKKE.
Three Legendary Characters Join the Fight
The "Reborn Evil" event introduces three playable Resident Evil characters with different rarities and acquisition methods:
Jill Valentine - The S.T.A.R.S. operative arrives as an SSR Attacker wielding the Lightning Eagle assault rifle. Her banner runs from October 2-21, 2025, featuring her iconic Resident Evil 3 remake design.
Ada Wong - The mysterious spy joins as an SSR character equipped with her signature crossbow. Available immediately from September 24 through October 21 in her classic red dress from Resident Evil 2.
Claire Redfield - Unlike the others, Claire is completely free, obtainable through the story event and a 14-day login campaign. She functions as an SR support character with healing abilities.
Horror Meets Sci-Fi in "Salvation Through The Crimson Flame"
The collaboration story centers on investigating a mysterious NEO-Virus outbreak in a decaying mansion, where players encounter a cult called the "Torch of Salvation". The A.C.P.U. Squad's investigation leads to a chilling encounter with the three Resident Evil heroines in what promises to be NIKKE's darkest collaboration yet.
Limited-Time Content Worth Getting
Beyond the characters, players can expect:
- Salvation Breakers Mini-Game: A vertical defense game featuring SD versions of the collaboration characters
- Exclusive Costumes: Premium skins including battle suits and dress variants
- Special Weapons: Character-specific equipment matching their Resident Evil origins
Perfect Timing for Horror Fans
This collaboration arrives just months before Resident Evil 9's February 2026 release, making it a strategic tie-in that benefits both franchises. NIKKE has proven successful with previous collaborations including NieR: Automata and Stellar Blade, but this marks its first venture into survival horror territory.
Event Details You Need to Know
The Reborn Evil collaboration runs from September 24 through October 21, 2025, giving players nearly a month to experience the crossover content. The event features multiple phases, with different characters becoming available at staggered intervals to maintain player engagement throughout the duration.
For NIKKE players who've been saving their gems, this collaboration offers both premium SSR characters for hardcore collectors and a completely free option in Claire Redfield, making it accessible regardless of spending habits.
The fusion of Resident Evil's atmospheric horror with NIKKE's anime-styled combat promises to deliver something genuinely unique in the mobile gaming space.
