SHIFT UP announced that its self-developed title, 'Goddess of Victory: Nikke' (hereinafter 'Nikke'), is continuing its global success. Following its 3.5-year anniversary update on the 23rd, the game reached No. 1 on the Korean App Store, followed by No. 1 on the Japanese Google Play Store on the 24th, and it currently maintains the top spot in Google Play revenue in both Korea and Japan.

The game has also maintained a top-10 ranking in Taiwan during the same period and continues to perform strongly in major global markets, including North America.

With every major update, Nikke has reclaimed the top spots on the charts, establishing itself as a leading long-term hit IP among domestic subculture games. By combining character collection with gun-shooting mechanics, the game has built a solid global fandom through its unique gameplay, high-quality content, immersive storytelling, and consistent musical releases.

The 3.5-year anniversary update's success was driven by content management that has steadily increased narrative depth over time, alongside high-quality in-game content that aligns with the idol-themed concept. The event story 'STAR ANIS'—which focuses on the narrative of the popular character 'Anis' who has been with the game since launch—along with '3D visual performances,' 'special animations,' and 'full voice acting,' has received an enthusiastic response from users. Additionally, the introduction of the mini-game 'TRACING THE STARS,' which allows players to enjoy Nikke's high-quality OST as a rhythm game, has been praised for expanding the game's music into a new form of interactive content.

Meanwhile, beyond its exceptional gameplay, Nikke is deepening its connection with users through various offline events. The team has consistently worked to expand its user base by participating in major domestic and international subculture events such as 'AGF,' 'Anime NYC,' and 'Anime Expo,' as well as hosting orchestra concerts, department store pop-up stores, and various online and offline collaborations. The company plans to continue engaging with its community through diverse activities, including upcoming 'Area Defense' pop-up stores and 'Nikke Band' live performances.

SHIFT UP Director Yoo Hyung-suk stated, "We were eagerly looking forward to presenting this 3.5-year anniversary update to our users, and we are truly delighted by the overwhelming support we have received. We are grateful for the constant interest and encouragement since launch, and we hope you will continue to join us on Nikke's journey ahead."
