Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, and Claire Redfield Are Coming to NIKKE – When Does the Resident Evil Collaboration Begin?

Capcom’s iconic heroines are about to enter the world of GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, as Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, and Claire Redfield join the roster to face a brand-new virus—and flaunt their signature style—in SHIFT UP’s hit gacha shooter.

A Historic Year for SHIFT UP and NIKKE

2025 has been a massive year for SHIFT UP and its mobile hit, GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE. After high-profile collaborations with Evangelion and Stellar Blade, the studio just secured another legendary franchise: Resident Evil. And the best part? Fans won’t have to wait until the series’ 30th anniversary—the crossover is just around the corner.

What’s Included in the Resident Evil x NIKKE Collab?

Hints dropped at gamescom 2025 suggested Jill Valentine would be part of the crossover, but new promo art confirms two more RE legends: Ada Wong and Claire Redfield.

• Jill Valentine (SSR)
• Ada Wong (SSR)
• Claire Redfield (SR)

For gacha fans: the SSR recruitment rate is 2%, while Claire Redfield will be available for free during the event. Players can also claim 300 free gems with the CD-KEY: STOP0924.

As usual with NIKKE collabs, players can expect:

• Free alternate costumes for guest characters.
• Premium skins, likely priced at $60 USD for Jill Valentine (gacha skin) and $20 USD for Ada Wong (Battle Pass).
• An unexpected new skin for D: Killer Wife has also been announced.

When Does the Resident Evil Event Start in NIKKE?

The collab’s original story will feature the A.C.P.U. police unit and D from Perilous Siege, joining forces against what seems to be a new viral threat.

According to the promo poster, the Resident Evil x NIKKE event begins on Wednesday, September 23, 2025, at around 4:00 PM (Mexico City time), based on previous update schedules.

While the official duration hasn’t been confirmed, past collaborations suggest it will last around 3 weeks.
