A special story featuring the new additions will be available during the new version as well – plus, Shift Up has prepared a bunch of special outfits for the newcomers. 

Of course, the Nikke x Evangelion collaboration won’t stick around forever, giving you a restricted window of time to obtain all the characters you want, so it’s of crucial importance to be aware of the timetable.
