Goddess of Victory: Nikke–the sci-fi-RPG gallery shooter on mobile and PC from the developer of Stellar Blade–is adding one of the most famous heroines in video game history to its roster. As teased during Gamescom, the Goddess of Victory: Nikke × Resident Evil collaboration will feature Jill Valentine, one of the original RE game’s main characters.
The initial teaser features a cult as it prepares to take part in a gruesome ritual. Poli–one of the characters from Goddess of Victory–is briefly seen when she is grabbed by someone with a bloodstained hand. The initial trailer hid Jill’s debut, but developer Shift Up subsequently confirmed it was her.
Shift Up also hinted that Jill may not be the only RE character to appear during this crossover. Further details about the collaboration’s story and launch date are being withheld for now. But this isn’t the first time that Goddess of Victory has been given a prominent crossover. Previous collaborations have included characters from Evangelion and Nier: Automata. There was even a collaboration between Stellar Blade and Goddess of Victory earlier this summer.
As for Resident Evil, Capcom is gearing up for the 30th anniversary of the original game next year. Although Jill doesn’t appear to be featured in the next game, Resident Evil: Requiem, Capcom’s latest trailer for the sequel offers a more complete introduction to the new heroine, Grace Ashcroft. That game will be released February 27, 2026. Additionally, a new Resident Evil movie by Weapons director Zach Cregger will hit theaters on September 18, 2026.
