The fan-favorite NieR:Automata Collaboration Rerun, “OuteR:Automata,” launches alongside the expo, bringing back beloved characters, challenging missions, and limited-time content to the Nikke universe. The return of the Square Enix collaboration includes:

  • SSR 2B: The elite YoRHa android returns, with her ATK scaling with Max HP and increasing with each Burst Skill use.
  • SSR A2: A prototype android specializing in close-range combat. Her “Mode B” periodically decreases her HP in exchange for dramatically enhanced skill attributes.
  • SR Pascal: This support-type machine lifeform provides continuous HP restoration and rocket launcher attacks.
  • NieR:Automata Grand Collaboration Event Rerun – OuteR:Automata: A D-Wave phenomenon recurs in a Surface factory, sending the Commander and Counters to investigate.
  • New & Returning Outfits: Both 2B and A2 receive brand-new outfits, and original collaboration costumes are also available again for a limited time.

Goddess of Victory: Nikke is available now on PC and mobile platforms.
