April 1st is here, and with it comes a wave of exciting announcements, events, and trailers—some real, some playful. For Goddess of Victory: Nikke fans, the annual April Fool's event promises plenty of fun without the worry of fleeting pranks.

Familiar faces Shifty and Syuen are back for the festivities, accompanied by a new April Fool's exclusive: Mecha Shifty. This heavily armored, firepower-packed version of Shifty is playable in select battle missions, adding a fresh twist to the event.

Beyond the event, Nikke has dropped a surprising movie trailer, hinting at screenings in Los Angeles and New York City. Is it a genuine cinematic venture or a clever publicity stunt? Dive into the game to uncover the truth.

Fortified Firepower

Jokes aside, I’m fairly certain this movie isn’t a full-fledged Hollywood production, especially with a nod to this year’s prank-inspired character. That said, Nikke’s April Fool’s events are known for their impressive effort and creativity, so don’t underestimate the surprises in store.

If the film proves to be more than a trailer—perhaps with a comedic spin—we’ll likely hear more soon. Or maybe it’ll stay a mystery.
