It may be hard to believe now, but there was a time not too long ago when mobile gaming wasn't as omnipresent as it is today. Yet, promotional events for top-tier mobile titles have grown so grand that they'd have seemed impossible just five years back. One such example is Shift Up’s third-person gacha shooter, *Goddess of Victory: Nikke*, making waves far beyond the digital space and into real-world arenas.

On June 10th, fans of both *Goddess of Victory: Nikke* and Major League Baseball were in for a special treat at Petco Park during the Padres vs. Dodgers matchup. The event featured a high-profile appearance by popular streamer and cosplayer Emiru, who took to the field dressed as the beloved character Rapi from the game. In a nod to baseball tradition, Emiru threw the ceremonial first pitch—blending the worlds of mobile gaming and professional sports in a way that felt both fresh and exciting.

A Timely Themed Update

This crossover moment coincided with *Goddess of Victory: Nikke*'s recent baseball-themed update, which saw characters Noir and Blanc sporting new uniforms inspired by America’s favorite pastime. It's an excellent example of how mobile games are increasingly bridging virtual experiences with real-life events, creating immersive brand engagement for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Game On: Meet-and-Greets and Exclusive Giveaways

Even those unfamiliar with *Goddess of Victory: Nikke* before the game likely left with a positive impression. Attendees were treated to exclusive giveaways, including themed merchandise like limited-edition baseball cards and commemorative t-shirts. Fans also had the chance to meet cosplayers portraying their favorite in-game characters up close—an opportunity many eagerly embraced.

These kinds of appearances reflect the growing commitment of *Nikke*'s development team to connect with their fanbase in creative and meaningful ways. This isn’t a one-off stunt either—just around the corner is another major collaboration with *Stellar Blade*, set to debut alongside a presence at Anime Expo 2025!
