NIKKE x Kyoto City & JR Tokai Collab Part 2 Starts September 11

Level Infinite announced on August 25 that the second collaboration between Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and Kyoto City, alongside JR Tokai's Oshi Tabi campaign, will run in stages starting in September. The Kyoto City portion, NIKKE in Kyoto Part 2, themed A Journey to Find Lost Items with Nikke!, runs from September 15 to November 10 and features a stamp rally, a new mystery-solving experience, and original item sales. Eight characters appear in newly drawn kimono-style outfits: Nayuta, Arcana, Velvet, Modernia, Anis, Sakura, Sin, and River Lelio. Players take on a Lost Item Investigation Mission, searching Kyoto for clues and solving mysteries with the Nikkes. The JR Tokai Oshi Tabi collaboration, NIKKE in Kyoto with Oshi Tabi Part 2, runs from September 11 to November 10 and includes Tokaido Shinkansen onboard content, newly recorded voice lines from the eight Nikkes that differ between outbound and return trips, boarding perks, station displays at Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Shin-Osaka, a special exhibition inside Kyoto Station, and collaboration goods sold on Seven Net Shopping. Both events share a November 10 end date, and a special site is now open.

  • The mystery content is new to this run. Sources describe a "Lost Item Investigation Mission" entrusted to players by the central government, with clues scattered around Kyoto.

  • A second key visual is planned. The current one shows the eight Nikkes touring Kyoto in their new attire, with a main key visual to be released later.
  • Shinkansen voice lines are split by direction: different recordings play on the outbound trip to Kyoto versus the return trip.
  • Digital signage runs at Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Shin-Osaka stations, plus a special exhibition inside Kyoto Station.
  • Collaboration goods, named "NIKKE in Kyoto with Oshi Tabi Goods," are sold through Seven Net Shopping, which one source notes lets fans who cannot attend participate.
  • The Oshi Tabi campaign is JR Central's tourism effort, running about 150 collaborations a year since 2021, spanning idols, anime, and sports teams.
  • NIKKE is developed with SHIFT UP and released November 4, 2022, for iOS, Android, and PC.
