Goddess of Victory: NIKKE “Project Matis” Event and Update Overview
New SSR Nikkes: Laplace and Maxwell
SSR Laplace is a powerful new Attacker available through Special Recruit. She focuses on boosting her own attack power and deals significant damage to many enemies when using her Burst Skill. Her signature weapon is the rocket launcher called “Ultimate Hero Syndrome,” and she’s a Wind-coded unit from the Missilis Industry.
Okay, so a new character just dropped – SSR Maxwell: Ordinary Mechanic! I’m pretty excited because she’s a Supporter, which means she’s all about buffing my team’s damage output. Her Burst Skill is awesome; it jacks up my attack power and everyone else’s too! She fights with this cool ability called My Heavenly Cutey, has the Wind element, and she’s connected to Missilis Industry. Basically, she’s going straight into my main squad.
New Costumes and Limited Rerun
Laplace is getting a brand-new costume called “Laplace: Ultimate Hero – Prototype Hero,” and it comes with full voice acting! You can unlock it by completing the PROTOTYPE PASS. Maxwell is also receiving a new look, “Maxwell: Ordinary Mechanic – Chief Researcher,” which will be available through the August Mission Pass.
This update reintroduces Dorothy – Nostalgia through a special Costume Gacha. The costume includes complete voice acting, a unique animation for her Burst Skill, a new standing pose, and a special animated emote.
New Fully Voiced Story Event: PROJECT MATIS
The fully voiced story event, PROJECT MATIS, is a major focus. With the Third Surface Reclamation War looming, Laplace and Maxwell receive further upgrades and prepare for battle. Watching these changes, Syuen is reminded of past events.
Okay, so things are heating up in-game! It looks like the Third Surface Reclamation War is almost here, and Laplace and Maxwell are getting another power-up and team rework. Watching it all happen, it made my character, Syuen, remember something from way back in her past… The event starts after maintenance on July 23rd and runs until August 12th, so mark your calendars!

Okay, so this new event kicks off on July 23rd, 2026 and runs until August 12th. It looks like there’s a whole story mode to play through, and tons of rewards up for grabs! There’s also a Challenge Stage with some seriously tough bosses to test my skills. Basically, I can earn special event items just by playing, and then trade those in for things like Recruit Vouchers and materials to level up my characters – sounds awesome!
Archives, Storyline, and other events
We’ve saved the latest story moment, NEW FLAVOR, in the Archives! You can unlock it and experience it again by collecting Memory Films as part of PROJECT MATIS.
This update includes new content called PROJECT MATIS in the Storyline section, plus a 14-day login event named HERO DAYS. We’ve also made several improvements to the system, such as better sound options for TRACING THE STARS, easier Social Point collection, and a cleaner Lobby interface.
We’ve introduced a convenient ‘Quick Use’ function for your inventory boxes. Plus, four new favorite characters – Phantom, Sugar, Rosanna, and Flora – are now available, along with fresh profile customizations like decorations, titles, and lobby backgrounds.
