According to data compiled by Sensor Tower released on May 15, Japanese players account for the majority of the game\u2019s revenue at a staggering 48.3%. This is followed by South Korea at 19% and the U.S.A. at 17.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With over 20 million cumulative downloads worldwide, Nikke was ranked first in both the Google Play Store and Apple\u2019s App Store for five consecutive days in Japan (April 30 to May 4). It held the top spot in the same mobile stores in Korea for a total of seven days (April 23 \u2013 26, April 28 \u2013 30), which is the first time Nikke maintained the position for an extended period since its launch in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3010T.T.

Japan, for instance, saw multiple Nikke offline advertisements in the popular Shibuya Scramble Crossing (the game was also ranked second in total mobile game brand ad impressions on April 25). A Nikke promotional video was broadcast on South Korea\u2019s Namsan Seoul Tower, whereas a \u201cGlobal Commander Cheering Campaign&#8221; video was unveiled in New York\u2019s Times Square in the United States. Traffic to the official Nikke homepage also reached year-high numbers thanks to the ongoing character popularity contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518-667710001.jpg\" alt=\"Goddess of Victory: Nikke Anis: Star. \" class=\"wp-image-66776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518-667710001.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518-667710001-380x214.jpg 380w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nikke\u2019s initial daily revenue growth rate saw a dramatic increase of 140% upon the start of its 3.5 in-game anniversary event and the introduction of the highly anticipated over-spec Nikke, Anis: Star on April 23. While the percentage was lower compared to past anniversary events, the release of the over-spec Nikke, Neon: Vision Eye, the following week saw daily revenue increase to approximately double the amount seen during the event\u2019s start date. The game currently ranks 18th in cumulative revenue rankings for all anime-styled gacha games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/after-promoting-their-game-on-a-satellite-in-outer-space-nikkes-developers-are-stumped-about-what-could-possibly-be-next\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">After promoting their game on a satellite in outer space, NIKKE\u2019s developers are stumped about what could possibly be next<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/shift-ups-jiggle-physics-shooter-goddess-of-victory-nikke-grosses-over-1-billion-on-mobile-alone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Shift Up\u2019s jiggle physics shooter Goddess of Victory: NIKKE grosses over $1 billion on mobile alone<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Godddes of Victory: Nikke celebrates 3.5 years since launch and tops $1.3 billion USD in global cumulative revenue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":66774,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[261,17],"class_list":["post-66771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-financial-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
