Author: Simon May 04,2025

April 1st is here, and with it comes a flurry of announcements, events, and playful trailers that blur the line between reality and jest. For fans of Goddess of Victory: Nikke, the yearly April Fool's event is a highlight, and this year is no exception. Familiar faces Shifty and Syuen are making their return, joined by the new, exclusive April Fool's character, Mecha Shifty. This heavily armored version of Shifty is ready to tackle specific battle missions, adding a fun twist to the gameplay.

But the buzz isn't just about the in-game festivities. Goddess of Victory: Nikke has stirred excitement with a movie trailer announcement, claiming screenings in Los Angeles and New York City. Is this a clever April Fool's gag or something more? The trailer features the event's joke character, suggesting it might lean more towards humor than a serious cinematic venture. Yet, given the effort Nikke puts into their April Fool's events, it's worth keeping an eye on whether this film turns out to be more than just a trailer.
