Yan from NIKKE : Goddess of Victory might be getting her own swimsuit skin, and it’s fixing one of the community’s biggest problems with her.
It’s important to note that while the NIKKE devs have confirmed a second part to their summer event, the existence of a Yan swimsuit skin has never been officially confirmed- it only exists in cutscenes for the first summer event.
That being said, the Algernon merch store for NIKKE features all sorts of summer-themed goods, including acrylic stands of the units with summer costumes, including their shooting poses.
It’s here that fans have found their salvation- Yan has always been the face of NIKKE censorship, with her long hair entirely blocking her silhouette when she’s shooting, likely for content guideline reasons.
That being said, the swimsuit seems to have done away with the iron curtain, having her hair part down the middle.
On reddit, many fans celebrated the sight of Yan’s lesser-known baked goods business- even if it was just in acrylic form.
“Yes!! They finally freed her from her hairy prison! Yan stans we got a big W here today”, writes one user, W4rzone.
One more user even expressed hope that there’d be updates to Yan’s regular skin, too:
“Now this is what it is bro, let’s goo(sic). I hope they update the base version too, yan hair is beautifull (sic) but it is in the way.”, says red_nova_dragon.
This isn’t the first time Shift Up Corporation has added less conservative skins to the game- Makima famously got a free skin during the Chainsaw Man collab that allowed her to remove her coat.
