Booster Pack GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE Vol.2 launched September 19, 2026 for the Japanese version of Weiss Schwarz, marking the second Weiss Schwarz release for the hit shooter RPG after the first set arrived in December 2024. The set spotlights Rapi: Red Hood, Cinderella and Grave alongside a wide roster of NIKKEs, with 112 normal cards plus 158 parallel cards, foil stamped signature cards from 40 cast members, 14 newly drawn illustrations and a limited hand signed autograph card. The Korean edition arrived the same day, and the English edition follows on September 25, 2026.
For players coming from the video game, this booster works as a tabletop extension of the squad building loop that defines NIKKE x Persona collaboration events and other in game milestones. You still build a roster around favorite units, weigh rarity against raw power and chase rare pulls. The difference is that the pulls live in binders and decks instead of on a server, and the rarest cards carry real signatures from the anime voice cast.
SEC chase cards lead the lineup
The top chase tier is SEC, short for Secret, with five types. Each SEC card pairs a newly drawn illustration with a foil stamped signature from the cast, finished with gold and silver foil treatments that stand out even in a set full of shiny cards. The five SEC cards are Rapi: Red Hood signed by Yui Ishikawa, Cinderella signed by Aoi Yuki, Little Mermaid signed by Yu Shimamura, Elegg: Boom and Shock signed by Ayasa Ito and D: Killer Wife signed by Aya Yamane.
Cinderella is the clear face card of the set. She headlines the SEC tier, returns in the SP tier and also supplies the set rarest pull, a hand signed AGR autograph card from Aoi Yuki that appears in first edition boxes only. Collectors hunting a single character will find Cinderella across three rarity tiers, which gives both budget and premium paths to the same favorite.
SSP tier pairs artist art with cast signatures
One step below SEC sits SSP, or Super Special, with nine types. SSP cards feature newly drawn illustrations from guest illustrators, framed by gold highlighted borders and finished with foil stamped cast signatures. The SSP lineup is Grave signed by Hisako Kanemoto, Crown signed by Aki Toyosaki, Laplace signed by Ai Kakuma, Diesel signed by Rie Takahashi, Privaty in her Banquet Princess outfit signed by Ayana Taketatsu, Arcana signed by Natsumi Murakami, Ein signed by Nao Kojika, Zwei signed by Hatsuna Hanamiya and Mihara in her Bonding Chain outfit signed by Mutsumi Tamura.
The SSP tier is where the set flexes its range. Grave gives fans of the story central figures a premium option, Crown and Laplace cover the squad leader favorites and Ein and Zwei arrive as a pair that deck builders can theme around. Because each SSP uses illustrator drawn art rather than game assets, these nine cards look distinct from the rest of the set on the table, which is exactly what premium tiers should do.
SP tier covers the wider roster
The SP tier, or Special, is the broadest signature tier with 31 types. These cards use powerful in game illustrations from GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE with foil stamped cast signatures, so players will recognize the art the moment it hits the table. The SP roster includes Helm signed by Marina Inoue, Scarlet in her Black Shadow Longing Flower outfit signed by Reina Ueda, Quency in her Escape Queen outfit signed by Aya Uchida, Anis signed by Miho Okasaki, Nayuta signed by Ayako Kawasumi, Vesti in her Tactical Upgrade outfit signed by Rie Kugimiya, Guillotine in her Winter Slayer outfit signed by Ami Koshimizu and Soda in her Twinkle Bunny outfit signed by Konomi Kohara.
The rest of the SP list keeps the variety coming. Sakura in her Bloom in Summer outfit signed by Sanae Kobayashi, Dorothy in her Serendipity outfit signed by Chiwa Saito, Naga in her Last Girlhood outfit signed by Hina Suguta, Eunhwa in her Tactical Upgrade outfit signed by Sayaka Senbongi, Anchor in her Innocent Maid outfit signed by Hiyori Nitta, Emma in her Tactical Upgrade outfit signed by Mamiko Noto, Rosanna in her Chic Ocean outfit signed by Ikumi Hasegawa, Modernia in her Second Affection outfit signed by Kana Hanazawa, Red Hood in her Nonsense Red outfit signed by Yoko Hikasa, Mast in her Romantic Maid outfit signed by Ryo Hirohashi, Maiden in her Ice Rose outfit signed by Yui Horie, Alice in her Wonderland Bunny outfit signed by Hina Yomiya and Mana signed by Mai Nakahara all appear. Bready, Sora, Clay, Bay, Rouge and D: Killer Wife round out a tier that touches nearly every corner of the roster.
Across all three signature tiers, the set totals 45 distinct signed cards plus the AGR, which makes sealed product feel close to the gacha pull loop that shooter RPG fans already know. If you enjoy the pack opening loop in the TCG Card Shop Simulator, opening a real box of NIKKE Vol.2 scratches the same itch with cards you can keep.
Box layout, bonuses and release dates
Each pack holds eight cards, each box holds ten packs and each carton holds 12 boxes. The full checklist spans 112 normal cards plus 158 parallel cards, so completionists face a deep set with plenty of foils to track down. Every box includes one PR bonus card drawn from 26 types, split across 13 normal and 13 parallel versions, while each carton includes one PR card drawn from 12 types. Bushiroad notes that bonus card inclusion in later reprints is still to be decided, which adds weight to first edition boxes for collectors.
Release timing is staggered by region. Japan and Korea launched together on September 19, 2026, and the English edition lands September 25, 2026. Full product details are listed on the official NIKKE Vol.2 product page, and general rules for the system are available through the official Weiss Schwarz portal.
NIKKE strength as a tabletop crossover
GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE has always been a collector driven game, with new units, limited outfits and collaboration events rotating on a steady schedule. Turning that catalog into cardboard makes natural sense because the fantasy of owning a rare unit translates directly. A signed Cinderella SEC on a playmat reads the same way a max limit break unit does on a phone screen, and it never rotates out of a patch cycle.
Bushiroad has recent form with video game properties as well, including the Bushiroad Palworld trading card set dated for July 2026. NIKKE Vol.2 follows that same playbook of pairing a proven game roster with Weiss Schwarz two player rules, where more than 160 titles already take part. New players only need a deck and an opponent, since the core loop has each side field characters and battle with cards that recreate favorite series.
For GameHaunt readers deciding between singles and sealed product, the structure points to a simple rule. Buy singles if you want one favorite like Cinderella or Grave, since 45 signed types plus parallels spread any single chase thin. Buy a box if you want the opening night thrill, the guaranteed PR bonus card and a shot at SEC or SSP gold. Buy first edition if the hand signed Aoi Yuki AGR matters to you, because that card never appears in reprints.
