After a triumphant 3.5 anniversary celebration, Goddess of Victory: Nikke has surpassed $1.3 billion USD in total worldwide earnings (source: Inven). Data from Sensor Tower, published on May 15, reveals that Japanese players contribute the largest share of the game’s income at 48.3%. South Korea follows with 19%, and the U.S.A. with 17.3%.
The game has been downloaded over 20 million times globally and achieved top rankings in both the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store in Japan for five straight days (April 30 to May 4). It also held the number one spot in Korea’s mobile stores for seven days (April 23 – 26, April 28 – 30), marking the first time Nikke sustained such a streak since its 2022 launch.
Beyond in-game content, global advertising efforts have significantly boosted player engagement. In Japan, multiple Nikke billboards appeared at the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing (the game also secured second place in mobile game ad impressions on April 25). A promotional clip for Nikke was shown at South Korea’s Namsan Seoul Tower, while a “Global Commander Cheering Campaign” video was displayed in New York’s Times Square. The official Nikke website also saw record traffic due to an ongoing character popularity contest.
Nikke’s daily revenue jumped by 140% when its 3.5 anniversary event began and the awaited over-spec Nikke, Anis: Star was introduced on April 23. Although this was less than previous anniversaries, the launch of the over-spec Nikke, Neon: Vision Eye, the next week nearly doubled the event’s starting revenue. Currently, the game ranks 18th among all anime-styled gacha games in total earnings.
