Level Infinite and SHIFT UP released the latest version, "WAVE TO YOU," for Goddess of Victory: NIKKE on July 2, 2026, following maintenance from 11:00 to 18:00. The update introduces two new SSR Nikke: Cinderella: Crystal Wave (voiced by Aoi Yuki) and Marciana: Marine Study (voiced by Yume Miyamoto, also reported as Yume Inagaki and Yuki Inagaki across sources). Cinderella: Crystal Wave is available in special recruitment from July 2 to July 23, while Marciana: Marine Study runs from July 9 to July 30. A full-voice story event of the same name runs alongside, where Marciana's group on a graduation trip and Cinderella's group searching for Hansel and Gretel are caught in a mysterious vortex and meet on an unusual island. Reruns of summer 2025 limited Nikke Dorothy: Serendipity and Elegg: Boom and Shock are also available, along with new costumes for Little Mermaid and Tia, and reruns of six past summer costumes. A 14-day login event and Solo Raid Season 38 (July 3 to July 8) are also part of the update.
The event includes a mini-game called "ISLAND BREAKER," where players break driftage washed ashore by bouncing a ball to clear fragments and Rapture enemies. The story event "WAVE TO YOU" also adds a new archive entry, "FOR REST," accessible after maintenance on July 2. A storyline of the same name is added to the game's Storyline menu.
Six summer-limited costumes from past years return in the cash shop from July 2 to July 23. The rerun lineup includes:
- Pepper's "Ocean Vitamin" (CV: Akari Kito)
- Yan's "Sunrise Market" (CV: Manami)
- Maiden's "Under the Sun" (CV: Yui Horie)
- Guilty's "Disbelief Wave" (CV: Rina Sato)
- Senti's "Ocean Repair" (CV: Mikako Komatsu)
- Tove's "Sunblaze" (CV: Shion Wakayama)
A new promotional video for the event has been released on YouTube. The Denfaminicogamer article notes the event's full press release, which describes the story as following Mast's group (or Marciana's group, depending on the source) and Cinderella's group, who "gradually notice something strange about the 'unusual island.'" The same source also reports that the recruitment bonus event for Cinderella: Crystal Wave grants collection care materials and advanced recruitment tickets based on the number of recruitments.
