Will NIKKE have anime? This is what we know

Recently, a Twitter user has caused a stir among fans of the popular mobile video game "GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE" by claiming that an anime adaptation is in the works. The news quickly gained traction on social networks, generating a wave of enthusiasm among followers who hope to see their favorite characters in animated format. However, this information does not have an official confirmation, and the respected leaker SUGOI Lite, known for his successful leaks in the anime and video game industry, has flatly denied the rumor.

SUGOI Lite was direct in debunking the information and warned the community with the following words:

• "FALSE! TSUMIFRAUD strikes again. Something may happen in the future, but that doesn't mean it's happening now. DON'T FALL INTO TRAPS TO GENERATE INTERACTION. I can confirm that there are currently no plans for a "NIKKE" anime project (which is distinct from the game's usual promotional animation)."

To his statement he added a quote from a recent interview with the game's director, Yoo Hyung-seok, conducted by Famitsu magazine. In the interview, Yoo clarified the situation when asked about a possible anime adaptation:

• "Currently, there are publications such as short story collections and 'Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Sweet Encounter,' but there are no plans for an anime adaptation yet. There's demand, and we have concepts, so I definitely want to make it happen. I dream of the day when I can announce it to everyone. Not only anime, but I'm always thinking about expanding the IP. I want to bring 'NIKKE' to the audience in a variety of ways."

The "GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE" franchise has gained great popularity in the mobile video game market since its release, especially for its combination of shooter and role-playing mechanics, along with an anime aesthetic that has captivated millions of players. Developed by Shift Up, the game is widely recognized for its graphical quality, character design, and immersive narrative, which has made the idea of an animated adaptation very appealing to its fan base. However, according to Yoo's statements, although there is interest and concepts to explore an animated series, there are no concrete plans in development at the moment.

This type of rumors and false leaks on social networks has become increasingly common, especially on platforms such as Twitter, where some users try to generate interaction through unverified information and collect revenue. Not only does this confuse fans, but it also creates expectations that, when debunked, can result in disappointment and frustration. In the case of "GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE", the lack of official confirmation from the developers should have been enough for fans to take the rumor with caution, as announcements of this type are usually made through official announcements or at industry events.
