Lycoris Recoil follows secret agents who pretend to be students. It’s a straightforward concept that immediately makes you wonder what’s going on! Now, the show’s main characters, Chisato and Takina, are coming as special, powerful characters in this collaboration!
The trailer introduces us to Gwendolyn, who is racing to catch her train. She just misses it, but luckily, a unique train pulled by horses arrives instead. When the doors open, she finds a group of people – likely both allies and enemies – already on board. As the train departs, we see someone else who also missed it, distracted by their heavy bags.
Winning big at a casino feels surprisingly similar to achieving a long-term goal, even though one involves luck and the other involves skill. The impact is strong because it brings a long process to a sudden conclusion. All the small choices, the patience, the close calls, and the focus you put in all come down to that single result. Seasoned players know that a win isn’t just about chance; it’s also about how our brains react to finally resolving something we’ve worked hard to achieve, especially when that effort has been sustained over time.
Shift Up promoted the event with a trailer:
NIKKE takes a unique approach to game balance. Unlike games that secretly raise difficulty, it’s very open about how it works. Your progress isn’t based on luck, but on the rewards you consistently earn while playing.
Kim expressed gratitude to the developers and fans who supported Shift Up, stating that they would continue working hard to elevate the global presence of Korean games.
The company has confirmed that a sequel is in development, responding to long-time requests from fans. They also plan to make it available to a larger audience than before.
I was reading an interview with a former PlayStation boss from G-Star in Korea, and it was really interesting. He talked about visiting the team at Shift Up – the folks who made Stellar Blade – back in 2019 and 2020. He was blown away by what they were working on, saying everything – the 3D models, how realistic it all looked, the graphics, and the action – was just top-notch. Seriously, he said the quality was exceptional all around.
The biggest new addition is Surface Beta, a large-scale battle mode where you lead multiple squads of Nikke to capture territory and collect resources on a huge battlefield. It’s the most strategic game mode yet, focusing on smart team formations and teamwork over just powerful weapons.
You can find new missions on the Bulletin Board in Xion. We don’t have details yet about what these missions will involve, but we’re excited for the update to release.
