Level Infinite's recent activity centers on two September events. On September 14, 2026, the company and developer SHIFT UP held a press conference and lighting ceremony for the second NIKKE in Kyoto collaboration at Kyoto Station Building. The event featured voice actress Natsumi Murakami, cosplayer Moe Iori, and Kyoto City Industry and Tourism Bureau director Dai Kusaki. Nidec Kyoto Tower was lit in Anis: Star yellow for one night. The main program, a stamp rally called A Journey with Nikke: The Search for Lost Items, runs from September 15 to November 10 across eight Kyoto locations.
The collaboration with Kyoto City and JR Tokai had been announced on August 25 and began in stages. The JR Tokai Oshitabi portion started September 11 with Tokaido Shinkansen onboard content, station displays, and collaboration goods. The Kyoto City portion followed on September 15.
On the game side, Level Infinite released the NIKKE version COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN on September 17 after maintenance. The update adds two SSR Nikkes, Guilty: Mighty Bunny and Sin: Swift Bunny, and a story event set at the first Three Great Companies Expo. A limited-time selective recruitment lets players choose one of six limited Nikkes. The update also includes new costumes and six returning limited costumes.
Earlier in the summer, Level Infinite released the NIKKE version WAVE TO YOU on July 2 with two new SSR Nikkes, Cinderella: Crystal Wave and Marciana: Marine Study, and reprints of summer 2025 units. The company also hosted a booth at gamescom 2026 from August 26 to 30, where Control Resonant, the sequel to Remedy Entertainment's Control, had its first playable demo ahead of a September 24 release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
