Recently, a Twitter user has caused a stir among fans
of the popular mobile game “ GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE ” by claiming
that an anime adaptation is in the works. The news
quickly gained traction on social media, generating a wave of excitement among
fans hoping to see their favorite characters in animated form. However, this
information has no official confirmation, and respected leaker SUGOI Lite,
known for his accurate leaks in the anime and video game industry, has flatly
denied the rumor.
SUGOI Lite was direct in debunking the information and
warned the community with the following words:
- « FALSE!
TSUMIFRAUD strikes again. Something may happen in the future, but that
doesn’t mean it’s happening now. DON’T FALL FOR TRAPS TO GENERATE
INTERACTION. I can confirm that there are currently no plans for a “NIKKE”
anime project (which is distinct from the game’s usual promotional
animation) »
He added a quote to his statement from a recent
interview with the game's director, Yoo Hyung-seok, conducted by Famitsu
magazine. In the interview, Yoo clarified the situation
when asked about a possible anime adaptation:
- « Currently,
there are publications like short story collections and 'Goddess of
Victory: NIKKE Sweet Encounter', but there are no plans for an anime
adaptation yet. There is demand, and we have concepts, so I
definitely want to make it a reality. I dream of the day when I can
announce it to everyone. Not just anime, but I'm always thinking
about expanding the IP. I want to bring 'NIKKE' to the audience in a
variety of ways .»
The “GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE” franchise has gained
massive popularity in the mobile gaming market since its launch, especially for
its combination of shooter and RPG mechanics, along with an anime aesthetic
that has captivated millions of players. Developed by Shift Up, the
game is widely recognized for its graphic quality, character design, and
immersive narrative, which has made the idea of an animated adaptation very
appealing to its fan base. However, according to Yoo’s statements,
although there is interest and concepts to explore an animated series, there
are no concrete plans in development at the moment.
These types of fake rumors and leaks on social media
have become increasingly common , especially on platforms
like Twitter, where some users attempt to generate engagement through
unverified information and collect revenue. Not only does this confuse
fans, but it also creates expectations that, when disproven, can result in
disappointment and frustration. In the case of “GODDESS OF VICTORY:
NIKKE,” the lack of an official confirmation from the developers should have
been enough for fans to take the rumor with a grain of salt, as announcements
of this kind are usually made through official press releases or at industry
events.
