GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE is folding three generations of Persona into one crossover, and the roster is now locked. Aigis from Persona 3 Reload, Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4 Golden, and Makoto Niijima from Persona 5 Royal all join the game as part of the Persona series’ 30th anniversary. Notably, the characters keep their original designs instead of NIKKE’s usual fan-service styling.
Quick answer: The Persona on Frontline event begins August 13, 2026 (after maintenance) and ends September 10. Aigis is free for completing the event plus a 14-day login campaign. Makoto (as Queen) runs on a limited banner from August 13, and Yukiko’s banner opens August 20; both close September 10 at 4:59 a.m. UTC+9.
Every Persona character coming to NIKKE
Three playable units arrive, one tied to each featured game. Makoto appears under her Phantom Thief codename, Queen, while Aigis and Yukiko use their standard names. Here is how each one breaks down.
| Character | Source game | Rarity / weapon | How to get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aigis | Persona 3 Reload | SR, Built-in Firearms SMG | Free via Persona on Frontline event + 14-day login |
| Queen (Makoto Niijima) | Persona 5 Royal | SSR, Abnormal / Iron Verdict shotgun | Limited Pick Up Recruitment, Aug 13 – Sep 10 |
| Yukiko Amagi | Persona 4 Golden | SSR, Abnormal / Crimson Bloom machine gun | Limited Pick Up Recruitment, Aug 20 – Sep 10 |
How to get Aigis for free
Aigis is the giveaway of the collaboration and does not require any pulls. She is an SR unit built around Built-in Firearms, mirroring her role as an anti-Shadow suppression weapon in Persona 3 Reload.
Once both conditions are met, Aigis appears in your account as an owned unit. Because the login campaign spans 14 days, start it early so it wraps before the event window closes on September 10.
Queen (Makoto) and Yukiko banner windows
Both SSR units are pull-only and share the same closing date, but they open on different days. Plan your gems around the staggered schedule if you want both.
Queen becomes available through a limited Pick Up Recruitment right after maintenance on August 13. She is an Abnormal manufacturer shotgun unit wielding a weapon called Iron Verdict, and her recruitment period runs through September 10 at 4:59 a.m. UTC+9.
Yukiko’s limited Pick Up Recruitment opens a week later, on August 20. She is also an Abnormal manufacturer unit but uses the Crimson Bloom machine gun, and her banner shares the same September 10 deadline.
Note: NIKKE crossover units historically do not follow a predictable rerun schedule, so treat these banners as limited-time and pull during the event if you want either character.
Costumes, mini-game, and event content
The update goes beyond the three new units. Two existing NIKKE characters receive Persona-themed outfits, and there is new campaign and boss content packed in alongside the crossover.
- Saint Thief costume for Phantom
- Thief of Justice costume for Miranda
- Midnight Phantom Runner mini-game
- Campaign chapters 47 and 48
- New boss, Liberalio Body
- Limited-time event, Trail Marker
The preview trailer offered the first in-game look at the three heroines before the full detail drop.
Collaboration dates and anniversary tie-in
The full Persona on Frontline crossover runs from August 13 to September 10, 2026, published by Level Infinite and developed by SHIFT UP. It marks the Persona series’ 30th anniversary, and unlike most gacha collaborations that stick to a single game, it pulls Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal together into one event.
GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE is available on PC and on mobile via iOS and Android, so the entire crossover is playable across all three platforms during the window.
