NIKKE x Persona Collab Date and Event Overview
The official NIKKE Persona 5 collaboration date is August 13, 2026 (after maintenance), with the full PERSONA ON FRONTLINE event running until September 10, 2026 at 04:59 (UTC+9). This massive crossover celebrates the Persona series’ 30th anniversary by bringing together elements from Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal in one seamless package.
Mysterious cases of people losing consciousness across the Ark, combined with strange D-WAVE phenomena, pull the Counters into contact with individuals who can summon Personas. The result is a dual-part story event, a brand-new minigame, special Coordinated Operations, login rewards, and a wave of limited cosmetics that feel right at home in both universes.
New Collaboration Characters
Three Persona icons join the Nikke roster as limited Nikke Persona 5 characters with this Nikke x Persona collab. Please note that none of them will enter the standard recruitment pool after the event ends.
And here are the limited units you are about to meet from this latest update:
| Character | Source Game | Rarity | Class | Manufacturer | Weapon | Code | Availability |
| Queen (Makoto Niijima) | Persona 5 Royal | SSR | Attacker | Abnormal | Iron Verdict (SG) | Fire | Queen Release Date: Aug 13 – Sep 10 |
| Yukiko Amagi | Persona 4 Golden | SSR | Attacker | Abnormal | Crimson Bloom (MG) | Fire | Nikke Yukiko Release Date: Aug 20 – Sep 10 |
| Aigis | Persona 3 Reload | SR | Supporter | Abnormal | Built-in Firearms (SMG) | Iron | Free via event + 14-day login |
Queen focuses on pure offensive power. Her kit boosts her own attack and delivers multi-target damage through her Burst Skill while channeling Johanna.
Nikke Yukiko Amagi on the other hand blends damage with support, healing allies via Konohana Sakuya while amplifying her own firepower and offering team-wide restoration. Her Burst further strengthens both sides of her kit. Should you pull Yukiko Nikke or is Yukiko worth pulling Nikke? Answer is yes because this unit perfectly balances healing as well as damage dealing to a next level.
Aigis is the free SR everyone can obtain in this new set. As a supporter she strengthens allies and still contributes multi-target damage on Burst, making her an easy addition for any roster building around the collab units.
Banner Schedule and Nikke Persona 5 Pull Priority
As Nikke Persona 5 banner, Queen’s limited Pick Up Recruitment opened immediately after the August 13 maintenance and runs through September 10. Nikke Yukiko banner begins August 20 and shares the same end date. Banners are staggered so smart resource management is very much essential. And that is how you will be able to contribute well towards a Nikke Yukiko build.
Save a healthy stock of Gems and Premium Recruit Tickets for the second week if Yukiko Amagi Nikke is your priority, or go all-in on Queen first if her shotgun DPS fits your current team better. Both units are pure limited collab characters and once the banners close, the window is gone.
If your Gem reserves are looking thin after the first banner, topping up through Enjoygm remains one of the most efficient ways to stay competitive without overspending, especially when dual limited banners hit this close together.

The NIKKE Persona collab date of August 13 kicked everything off, but the real pressure hits with Yukiko’s banner on the 20th and the hard close on September 10. Whether you’re here for the story crossovers, the stylish new kits, or just the thrill of running Midnight Phantom Runner with chibi Persona girls, this is one of the most complete and generous collabs NIKKE has delivered. Log in, clear stages, and make every pull count before the Phantom Thieves leave the Ark for good.
