Reborn Evil PV Drops – NIKKE Just Took a Dark Turn, and We’re Here for It

Just when you thought Goddess of Victory: NIKKE had already hit its peak with collabs and story events, the team drops something completely unexpected. The latest PV for the Resident Evil crossover, “Reborn Evil”, just went live — and it’s honestly one of the boldest creative pivots the game has taken since launch.

If you haven’t watched it yet, stop what you’re doing. This isn’t your usual gacha fluff. This one hits differently.

A Cinematic Shift: NIKKE Enters Survival Horror Territory

Let’s get this out of the way: NIKKE is known for its flashy visuals, high-energy combat, and fanservice-heavy character designs. But in this collab, the tone shifts. Hard.

The PV opens in eerie silence, with dark corridors, flickering lights, and the unmistakable tension that only a Resident Evil crossover can bring. It's not just surface-level either — the design, atmosphere, and music direction scream classic Capcom horror vibes. You can tell the developers didn’t just slap some RE skins on characters — they crafted a narrative space that feels like Resident Evil.

There’s even a nod to the NEO virus – a brand-new in-universe threat that blends both NIKKE lore and Resident Evil’s bioweapon paranoia. It’s a clever narrative move that keeps the crossover canon-friendly while letting both worlds breathe.

The Big Three: Jill, Ada, and Claire Join the War

We finally get our first full look at Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, and Claire Redfield — and let’s be honest, they look insanely good. The PV doesn’t just show off their models — it teases their personalities, combat roles, and even some brief interactions with NIKKE’s existing cast.

- Jill is clearly taking the lead role in this collab, which makes sense. Her voice lines are serious, tactical, and full of that "veteran survivor" edge fans love her for. She’s being introduced as a limited SSR unit, so expect top-tier combat potential.

- Ada Wong, ever the enigma, gets a slick reveal with her signature red dress and silenced pistol. She's a cool, calculated presence and another SSR character, meaning you’ll need to dig into that premium banner if you want her.

- Claire Redfield? Surprisingly, she’s an SR unit, and yes — you can get her for free through login rewards during the event. Massive win for free-to-play players.

The animation quality for these three is top-notch. Every movement in the PV looks polished and respectful to their original designs — Capcom fans have nothing to worry about here.

Event Starts September 24 – Get Ready

Mark your calendars: the Reborn Evil collab officially drops on September 24, 2025. According to the PV and supporting dev blogs, the event will include:

- A full original story event featuring the RE characters
- Exclusive limited-time gacha banners
- A 14-day login bonus (Claire Redfield is part of it!)
- Themed bosses, missions, and RE-style survival challenges

And yes — there are some heavily implied secrets in the PV. A few frames show corrupted NIKKE units, infected zones, and what looks like a mutated enemy that might be RE-inspired. Could we be seeing a NIKKE-ified version of a Tyrant? Maybe. Maybe not. But they want us to speculate.

Final Thoughts: NIKKE Just Leveled Up

This crossover isn’t just marketing hype. It’s a sign that NIKKE is evolving, and the devs aren’t afraid to explore darker, more mature territory. With Resident Evil’s legacy of survival horror and NIKKE’s high-stakes sci-fi world, this collaboration feels way more intentional than most mobile crossovers.

It’s exciting. It’s risky. And it works.

So whether you're a longtime RE fan, a NIKKE loyalist, or just someone who loves a good surprise, this PV is a must-watch. And if this is just the teaser, we can’t wait to see what the full event brings when it drops next week.

Still thinking about skipping this banner? After watching Jill and Ada in action, you might want to start saving those gems. Just saying!
