GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE is scheduled to receive the COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN update on September 17, 2026. Its fully voiced story event takes place during the first Big Three Manufacturers’ Expo. The Commander joins the troubled Plan C Squad in a battle royale and becomes caught up in an unexpected conspiracy.
Two new SSR Nikkes—Guilty: Mighty Bunny and Sin: Swift Bunny—arrive on separate recruitment dates. The update also brings a mini-game, new costumes, returning winter Nikkes and login rewards. Here is what has been confirmed ahead of launch.
COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN Event Dates and Story
COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN runs from the end of September 17 maintenance until October 8, 2026, at 04:59:59. Maintenance is planned for 11:00–18:00 on September 17; its actual end time may vary.
STORY I opens after maintenance, while STORY II opens on September 24 at 05:00. Both remain available until the event ends. Clearing their stages provides Advanced Recruit Vouchers and development materials. Challenge Stages also offer development materials.
The event map contains activities to explore, with Gems, development materials and Lost Relics available to find. A new story animation can be viewed through COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN → STORY II – Normal Stage.
TBD — after launch: Story developments, Lost Relic locations, Challenge Stage boss details and the full event shop inventory.
Guilty: Mighty Bunny and Sin: Swift Bunny
Both newcomers are Water Code Attackers from Missilis Industry who use shotguns. Their Special Recruit periods begin one week apart.

THREE COMPANY RUMBLE Mini-Game
THREE COMPANY RUMBLE is scheduled to run from the end of September 17 maintenance until October 8 at 04:59:59. The update notice specifically introduces Entertainment Coin Catch, describing it as a mini-game in which players knock away Bunny Girl Nikkes approaching from either side, collect coins and survive for as long as possible.
That description confirms the announced Entertainment Coin Catch gameplay. It does not establish every mode, rule or reward that may appear under THREE COMPANY RUMBLE.
TBD — after launch: The full mini-game structure, scoring rules and rewards.
New Costumes and Limited Costume Reruns
The update notice confirms three new costumes:
Sugar – Killer Rabbit is available through Costume Gacha from the end of September 17 maintenance until October 8 at 04:59:59. It includes full voice-over, a Burst Skill cutscene, a standing pose and a special SD motion.
Mana – Drunken Rabbit is the premium costume reward from LET’S DRINK PASS, available over the same September 17–October 8 period.
Crust – Treat Chef is the premium costume reward from the October Mission Pass, on sale from October 1 through October 31.
Six older costumes return to the Cash Shop from the end of September 17 maintenance until October 8 at 04:59:59: Alice – Sweet Home, Mary – Medical Rabbit, Viper – Toxic Rabbit, Folkwang – Moist Rabbit, Exia – Hacker Rabbit and Bay – Radiant Rabbit.
Winter Nikkes Return Through Limited Select Recruit
Limited Select Recruit brings back six winter Nikkes: Rupee: Winter Shopper, Anne: Miracle Fairy, Ludmilla: Winter Owner, Mica: Snow Buddy, Maiden: Ice Rose and Guillotine: Winter Slayer.
Players select one Nikke from the recruit list as their featured character and may change their choice. Nikkes they have not selected from that list will not appear in this recruitment pool. Limited Select Recruit runs from the end of September 17 maintenance until October 8 at 04:59:59.
This is a separate recruitment pool from the new Guilty and Sin banners.
Login Rewards and Other Confirmed Activities
EXPO CHECK-IN runs from the end of September 17 maintenance until October 8 at 04:59:59. Logging in on any 14 days during the event provides Advanced Recruit Vouchers and development materials. Participating in COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN can also provide Memory Films for unlocking archived story events; STAR ANIS is being added to the Archives.
Two FULL BURST DAY periods are scheduled for September 26 at 05:00–September 28 at 04:59:59 and October 3 at 05:00–October 5 at 04:59:59. During these periods, Interception and Simulation Room grant an additional reward.

The Solo Raid notice confirms a Fire Code enemy with a Water Code weakness, but does not name the boss. Coordinated Operation features Land Eater from September 25 at 12:00 until September 27 at 23:59:59.
The update also announces Equipment Modification improvements, including recalling previous lock settings and a warning when a reroll could remove a level 15 effect. Battle Simulation will become available for locked Solo Raid stages.
TBD — after launch: Exact EXPO CHECK-IN rewards by day, the Solo Raid boss’s identity and any changes announced when maintenance ends.
The confirmed schedule puts Guilty and STORY I on September 17, followed by Sin and STORY II on September 24. The remaining TBD details can be filled in as each part becomes available.
