How to get Evangelion’s Rei Ayanami in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE

I can hardly contain my excitement! The wait for the NIKKE x Evangelion collaboration is nearly over, and it looks like Rei Ayanami and other beloved characters are set to join the game. The event’s name, “The Ark Defense Battle: You Can (NOT) Evade,” is a clever nod to the Rebuild trilogy, hinting at the intense battles that lie ahead. I can hardly wait!

The creators of Shift Up have revealed that this collaboration is only available for a limited period. So, if you’re keen on getting Rei Ayanami or any other characters from the Evangelion x NIKKE series, make sure to do so within the provided dates.

How to get Rei Ayanami in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE? (Release Date)

To obtain Rei Ayanami from Evangelion, you need to do so during the Recruitment phase of the Pick Up event in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. She will be introduced a week following Asuka Langley’s arrival and will be accessible until the end of the event. This gives you the opportunity to acquire her from August 29 to September 19, 2024.

Following the Rebuild film series (available for streaming on Netflix today), several characters underwent a shift in their personalities. This transformation is evident in Rei Ayanami as well, who displays more emotions towards Shinji Ikari and even attempts to mend the relationship between him and his father by making concessions.

As a dedicated fan, I can share that Rei Ayanami is the one who pilots the pioneering EVA-00, the initial Evangelion unit procured by NERV. Yet, there’s no hint in sight suggesting the legendary Evas will grace the stage for the Evangelion x NIKKE collaboration.

In this collaboration, you’ll find these characters: Asuka Langley, Mari Makinami, and Misato Katsuragi. Following a pattern similar to Rei Ayanami’s release, we anticipate each character will be unveiled with approximately a week gap between announcements. While the order isn’t definitive, given Misato’s popularity, she might be the one made available last.
