Goddess of Victory: NIKKE “2X2 LOVE” Event and Update Overview

New SSR Nikke: Arcana

The new SSR character, Arcana: Fortune Mate, is now available through Special Recruit! This mysterious transfer student from the Best Seller Squad is an Attacker who gets stronger with each attack, and also boosts the power of allies who use shotguns.

Arcana’s Burst Skill significantly boosts her attack power, allowing her to hit several enemies with each attack. She wields the ‘Bittersweet’ shotgun, utilizes the ‘Fire’ code, and is a product of Elysion. Players can recruit her through a special in-game event running from the end of maintenance on March 19, 2026, until April 9, 2026.

New Costumes

The update introduces several new costumes, including “Privaty – Sharp Lesson,” which is available through the Costume Gacha. This costume features complete voice acting, a unique animation for its Burst Skill, a special standing pose, and a custom in-game motion.

Introducing Privaty’s new costume: Sharp Lesson! 👗 This costume is available through the Costume Gacha.

The Sharp Lesson costume will be available from March 19th (after maintenance) to April 9th at 4:59:59 (UTC+9).

The update also features new seasonal outfits! You can get Sora’s “Spring Flight” outfit by completing the April Mission Pass, and Clay’s “Cheer Up Training” outfit is available as a reward for logging in for 21 days during the Cheer Up Spring! event.

Dating Sim Story Event: 2X2 LOVE

The update includes a charming dating sim-style story event called “2X2 LOVE.” As part of an effort to boost the reputation of M.M.R. Vocational School, the Commander will be working alongside Arcana and Privaty right from the start.

Okay, so I’m totally hooked on this new story! It’s called ‘2X2 LOVE,’ and it’s about a Commander who’s trying to help his old vocational school get a better reputation. Right away, things get complicated because he ends up working with two girls, Arcana and Privaty, who both signed up to help too. I’m already dying to know what happens with all of them! It sounds like it’s going to be a really sweet story about growing up, finding love, and making memories.

This game tells a story about growing up, friendships, and school, and lets you make choices that change how the narrative unfolds. It features lots of interaction with different characters. The event begins on March 19, 2026, and runs until April 9, 2026. The first part of the story, STORY I, is available right away, and the second part, STORY II, will be released later during the event.

Mini Game, Login Events, Archives, and other updates

A new mini-game will be added to 2X2 LOVE, letting players make choices that lead to different story endings. It’s designed to feel like a relaxing look into everyday campus life and will offer even more story content.

So, the update dropped a new event called FOOL BURST DAY into the Archives – I can unlock it by using the Memory Films I earn while playing. And there are a bunch of login bonuses too! They’ve got the LOVE DIARY event that runs for 14 days, and another one called Cheer Up Spring! that lasts 21 days. If I log in consistently, I can even snag Clay’s Cheer Up Training costume – pretty cool!

Get ready for the 35th season of Solo Raid! Assemble your team and challenge the Crystal Chamber boss for valuable materials. The season starts on March 20th at 12:00 PM (UTC+9) and ends on March 27th at 4:59 PM (UTC+9). See the image below for full details.

Shortly after the update, Solo Raid Season 35 will start, where you’ll try to deal as much damage as possible for rewards and useful items. Later in the month, Champion Arena Beta Season 26 will begin for players who are ranked fourth or higher in SP Arena.

A new team-based event called Coordinated Operation is now available, letting players work together to defeat powerful bosses and share rewards. Season 8 of the Simulation Room – Overclock Mode offers a greater challenge with new difficulty settings and even more rewards for experienced players.
