Gugenka and Movic Collaborate on AI-Driven Interactive Experience for NIKKE Exhibition

Starting December 26, 2025, at the Animate Ikebukuro Main Store, Gugenka and Movic will showcase an interactive experience using AI technology at the "NIKKE 2nd Exhibition: BIG THREE IN THE ARK". This event aims to immerse attendees in the world of "NIKKE: Goddess of Victory", a popular gun girl RPG for iOS, Android, and PC.

The heart of this exhibition lies in a cutting-edge AI dialogue experience where visitors can converse with a virtual character named NIKKE, illustrated by artist Masahiro K. This innovative technology is designed to create a natural conversation environment, providing participants with a chance to delve deeper into the narrative and feel like part of the action. Developed by Gugenka, the entire experience is in cooperation with Movic, showcasing their shared commitment to blending IP with XR technology.

As an initial step towards expanding their collaborative efforts, this project signifies the merging of anime and gaming IP with immersive exhibition formats. The approach introduces a fresh perspective on how these universes can interact with fans in real-time, transcending traditional viewing experiences.

Engaging with AI-Powered NIKKE

As visitors enter the exhibition, they will be greeted by NIKKE—a humanoid character that remembers previous interactions, getting smarter with every conversation. This character’s design adheres closely to the original game's universe, ensuring that the essence of "NIKKE: Goddess of Victory" is preserved through the AI character.

The AI utilizes Gugenka's proprietary voice synthesis tool, “Oshabenri,” to deliver engaging and human-like dialogue. This innovation ensures that conversations sound natural and fluid, enhancing the visitor experience. Soon, attendees will discover that each interaction contributes to the AI’s knowledge, allowing for a richer, more personalized exchange as the exhibition progresses. This ongoing learning capability resonates deeply with the game's theme of camaraderie and shared experience.
