GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE “Over the Horizon” Update – SSR Sora, NieR Rerun & Summer Events
Goddess of Victory: NIKKE has just dropped its “Over the Horizon” update, bringing one of the busiest content slates of the year to the popular RPG. From a brand-new SSR character to returning collaborations and seasonal costumes, there’s a lot packed into this update—here’s everything you need to know.
Who is the new character in the Over the Horizon update?
SSR Sora is the latest Nikke added to the lineup, and she brings strong utility to any team with healing and debuff-cleansing abilities. Her role as a Supporter complements both PvE and co-op raids, especially for players looking to stabilize their teams in high-damage fights.
- SSR Sora uses a rocket launcher named Turbulence
- Special Recruit banner available until July 17
- Exchangeable with 200 Gold Mileage Tickets
- Temporarily available in the Union Shooting Range
Sora is a Wind Code Nikke manufactured by Elysion, with a skill set centered on reactive support. Her Burst Skill provides immediate healing and removes debuffs, making her especially useful in boss fights where timing is everything. With her availability limited to the Special Recruit banner for now, players have a short window to pull her or gather enough Mileage Tickets to claim her directly. After the event, she will eventually rotate into standard recruitment pools, but she won’t return to the Special Recruit shop or tutorials.
Which characters are coming back in the NieR:Automata rerun?
This update revives the NieR:Automata collaboration, featuring SSR 2B, SSR A2, and SR Pascal, all available again for a limited time. If you missed them during the previous crossover, now’s your chance to fill out your roster.
- SSR 2B is available from July 3 to July 31
- SSR A2 will be available from July 10 to July 31
- SR Pascal is free through event progression in OuteR:Automata
2B returns as a Defender-class unit who scales ATK based on her Max HP and boosts herself further with each Burst. A2, on the other hand, is a glass-cannon-style Attacker with high burst damage but a ticking HP drain during her Burst Mode B. Pascal, while only an SR, still delivers great value with his full support toolkit and a rocket launcher for steady damage output. All three are also available as temporary trials in the Union Shooting Range, making it easier to preview their usefulness before investing resources.
What new costumes and reruns are available this month?
Summer-themed cosmetics headline this update, with swimsuit variations and legacy NieR outfits returning through login bonuses, gacha rolls, and event milestones.
- 2B’s “YoRHa Waterfront Gear I” via Hidden Summer Pass
- A2’s “YoRHa Prototype Gear” via 21-day login event
- Privaty’s “Destined in Blue” via 1-day login event
- Previous NieR costumes available through gacha or cash shop
- Metamorphic Damage variants unlockable through challenges
These new outfits are a sign of how deeply integrated the summer theme and NieR crossover are in this update. 2B’s new beach costume is unlocked by leveling the Hidden Summer Pass, while A2’s prototype swimsuit can be claimed by logging in consistently throughout July. Privaty’s floral-themed costume is a simple one-day login reward. Returning outfits like 2B’s YoRHa Uniform and A2’s alternate skin can be pulled via gacha or bought outright, depending on the version. Meanwhile, those who already own 2B or A2 can unlock their Metamorphic Damage variants by clearing specific event challenges in OuteR:Automata.
What events and missions are live in Over the Horizon?
The core content comes from two concurrent events: the new story chapter “Over the Horizon” and the NieR rerun “OuteR:Automata.” Each offers unique maps, materials, and unlocks for daily participation.
- Over the Horizon story event: July 3 to July 17
- OuteR:Automata rerun: July 3 to July 31
- NieR hacking mini-game returns until July 31
- Union Raid: July 11 to July 17
- Coordinated Operation: July 11 to July 13
- Solo Raid ends July 10
“Over the Horizon” introduces aerial training missions for the Counters squad. This update also brings Challenge Stages, offering significant rewards for defeating difficult bosses. These missions are a good source of recruit vouchers and enhancement materials, and the associated event shop offers exchange options for useful items. The NieR event brings a full open map with exploration-based gameplay, hidden relics, and gem rewards. Coordinated Operation offers team-based boss battles, while the Union Raid and Solo Raid challenge both your personal builds and team coordination. The hacking mini-game is also back for a limited time, letting players earn extra resources through a fun, arcade-style interface.
What login rewards and archive updates are included?
Login streaks this month are more rewarding than usual, especially for players aiming to grab exclusive cosmetics and vouchers without spending currency.
- 7-day login: Recruit vouchers and development items
- 21-day login: A2’s summer costume and materials
- 1-day login: Privaty’s summer costume and 10 vouchers
- COLORLESS story event added to Archives
Each login event has a unique reward tied to it. The Silent Oasis 21-day calendar provides the full costume for A2, while Blooming Letter requires just one login for costume and vouchers. The shorter Check In event covers a solid chunk of development materials. Also, with this update, the COLORLESS event is now available for replay in the Archives. That means more lore accessibility and the chance to unlock memory film collectibles from Over the Horizon.
NIKKE’s Over the Horizon update is easily one of the most content-packed updates the game has seen, blending original story content with returning fan favorites. Whether you’re here for the SSR Sora meta shift or want another shot at 2B and A2, this month offers solid rewards, rich visuals, and new ways to enjoy the game.
