Anticipated Collab Event Brings Iconic Characters from Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal to Celebrated Sci-Fi RPG Shooter on August 13
PALO ALTO, CA – August 9, 2026 — Level Infinite and SHIFTUP today revealed full details of the intriguing crossover collaboration between the hit sci-fi action RPG GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE and Atlus’ acclaimed Persona franchise. Launching August 13, NIKKE players will be the first to experience this unique collaboration that spans a trio of modern Persona titles (Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal), highlighting the franchise’s official 30th-anniversary celebration this year.
The collaboration introduces beloved female characters from across three generations of the Persona series, each delivering distinct combat strengths, personalities, and style to the NIKKE battlefield:
- Queen (Makoto Niijima) | Persona 5 Royal: She’s the student council president at Shujin Academy and strategist for the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. She is calm, responsible, and proactive, but sometimes too earnest to compromise. A certain incident led to her Persona awakening, after which she became a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
- Yukiko Amagi | Persona 4 Golden: Yukiko is a member of the Investigation Team formed by a group of students from Yasogami High School, as well as a Persona user. As daughter to the manager of the renowned Amagi Inn, she is undergoing training as its next heir. Though quick-witted, she struggles a bit at reading the room and can come across as airheaded.
- Aigis | Persona 3 Reload: The seventh-generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon developed by the Kirijo Group. As part of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES), she is an android capable of summoning a Persona. While she initially behaves like a machine, acting in an obedient and overly straightforward manner, she gradually comes to develop human emotions.
Other new features in the NIKKE x Persona Collaboration Update:
- Free & Pass Costumes: Unlockable and pass-exclusive alternate outfits will be available for Persona characters Makoto Niijima and Yukiko Amagi.
- Exclusive Gacha Costume: A featured costume for Phantom – Phantom [Concept: Thief] – will be available in the outfit gacha.
- The World and Style of Persona: This crossover event honors the deep lore of each of the respective groups across the Persona timeline:
- The Phantom Thieves of Hearts (Persona 5 Royal): High school students operating in the shadows to reform “rotten adults” by infiltrating the Palace—an alternate world of the heart—to steal distorted desires at their source.
- The Investigation Team (Persona 4 Golden): A team formed by students pursuing the truth behind a string of mysterious serial murders in the rural town of Yasoinaba by traveling through the world inside the TV.
- SEES / Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (Persona 3 Reload): A chosen group of Persona users posing as a school club, dedicated to protecting humanity from the monsters known as Shadows that appear during the “Dark Hour.”
