Goddess of Victory Nikke x NieR Automata collaboration event: Release date, playable characters, and more

While much of the information is still under wraps, the release date for the collaboration event, scheduled for September 1, 2023, has already been confirmed. As per the information so far, this event will have only three playable characters.

These are 2B, Pascal, and A2 (you can check their ranking in the current meta from here). Even though there were rumors about 9S being a playable character due to his popularity in the collaboration, it appears that he will not be part of the event this time around.

The “First Reveal” trailer has also been announced, bringing some impressive animation. Depending on the trailer, one can assume there will be dedicated storylines and in-game events.

The trailer shows impressive animation of 2B fighting Rapi, along with a brief cameo of 9S, which rolled out the idea that he may not be available as a playable character in this collaboration.
