GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE is throwing a one-day 4th Anniversary pop-up at Café @ La Tendo on Sunday, 8 November 2026, with doors open to the public from 1pm. If you’ve been a Commander (what the game calls its players) for any stretch of the last four years, this is your chance to meet the rest of the squad in person over character-themed drinks.
Four Years, 45 Million Downloads
NIKKE launched on 4 November 2022, so the Singapore party lands days after the game’s actual birthday. Publisher Level Infinite, Tencent’s global games brand, says it has been downloaded over 45 million times since then. It’s a free-to-play sci-fi shooter on PC, iOS and Android, and it runs on gacha: you spend in-game currency on randomised “recruitments” to pull new characters.
This year’s anniversary is themed “Celebrate the Journey”, which Level Infinite frames as a thank-you to the Commanders and creators who built the community. The Southeast Asia (SEA) leg of that thank-you is a pair of pop-ups: Kuala Lumpur goes first on 7 November, and Singapore follows the next day.
What S$9 Gets You
The heart of the pop-up is a Singapore-only NIKKE drinks menu, with names like Scarlet’s Longing Mugicha, Snow White’s Seven Dwarves Soda and Rapunzel’s Divine Tea. Level Infinite says every purchase comes with a NIKKE gift, and that the country-specific menus run from 29 October, so the drinks are on before the party itself.
Our pick goes to Rapunzel’s Divine Tea, purely on timing. Rapunzel is the character this anniversary hands out for free (more on that below), so it’s the drink with the most reason to be in your photo this month. Mugicha, if you’re unfamiliar, is Japanese roasted barley tea, a fitting choice for Scarlet’s slightly melancholic name.
There are also photo ops with cosplaying staff and influencers, and lucky draws. Merch that exists for one afternoon tends to go to whoever turns up early, so treat 1pm as your arrival time rather than a suggestion!
KL Gets First Dibs
Malaysian Commanders get their turn a day earlier, on Saturday, 7 November, at DOKO KOKO Space & Pick-Up, L1-19, LaLaport, 2 Jalan Hang Tuah, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, from 1pm local time. The same formula applies: a local drinks menu, gifts with purchase, exclusive merch, cosplayers and lucky draws.
If you’re planning a weekend across the Causeway, you could technically hit both, which feels like the most Commander thing imaginable.
What Landed in the Game
The pop-ups sit on top of the 4th Anniversary update, which Level Infinite scheduled for 28 October. The headline additions are three new playable characters: Marian: Queen, Scarlet: Goddeath and Rapunzel: Sanctuary. Marian: Queen is chasing a world where her companions stop dying, while Scarlet: Goddeath is an upgraded form of Hongryeon wielding a dark-matter sword forged from her and Jang-hwa’s broken blades.
Story fans get Main Chapters 49 and 50, which close out the Underground Ark storyline in the full-scale 3rd Surface Recapture War. There’s a new story event, MARIA-n, where Marian wakes up in an unfamiliar research facility and takes her first steps on the surface.
If you’d rather see it than read about it, the official MARIA-n trailer sets up the story event better than any summary could.
Stellar Blade, but Make It Rhythm
The crossover the pitch-deck crowd will talk about is TRACING THE STARS x Stellar Blade, a 22-track music collaboration inside NIKKE‘s rhythm content. Four of those tracks are free, and the bundle adds custom note skins, minigame backgrounds and a special character addition.
There are four new costumes as well. The gacha pair is Marian: Queen – Last Affection, a wedding dress skin, and Snow White: Heavy Arms – Lacrimosa, while the Battle Pass gets Neon_Vision and Nayuta_Vision. A text-based visual novel minigame called Fading Affection rounds things out, letting players revisit memory fragments and unlock untold endings.
Spanish speakers have a reason to celebrate too, since full Spanish text localisation launches alongside the update.
259 Pulls on the House
Here’s the part that matters to your wallet. Level Infinite says Commanders can earn up to 259 free recruitment attempts across the anniversary events, plus 4th Anniversary Nikke Selection Boxes that let you choose between Rapunzel: Sanctuary, Chime, Rapunzel: Pure Grace and Snow White: Innocent Days.
The standout is Rapunzel: Sanctuary, an SSR unit (the game’s top rarity tier) given away free. She’s a high-mobility support built on a Pope motif, and players can claim up to four copies through anniversary events. Free top-tier units are the kind of thing returning players come back for, so if you drifted away, this is a decent moment to log back in.
Meanwhile, Around the World
Singapore and KL aren’t the only places NIKKE is stepping offline. Marian takes over One Times Square in New York on 29 October, and Animate Los Angeles runs a NIKKE in-store experience from 31 October to 14 November with 3D illusion wall art and exclusive merch.
That puts our corner of the map on the same anniversary calendar as Broadway, which is a nice flex for a café on Temasek Boulevard.
🗓️ Date: Sunday, 8 November 2026
⏰ Time: From 1pm
📍 Location: Café @ La Tendo, 3 Temasek Boulevard, #03-347, Singapore 038983
💰 Price: NIKKE drinks at S$9 each, with a NIKKE gift per purchase
🔗 Details: NIKKE official website
Four years in, the best thing about this pop-up is how plainly it’s built for the people who stuck around: drinks named after characters you’ve pulled for, cosplayers who look like them, and a room full of strangers who already know your favourite. Grab the update on the App Store or Google Play, claim your free Rapunzels, and follow the official NIKKE website for anniversary updates before you head to Café @ La Tendo on Sunday, 8 November. See you there, Commander!
