Kaiju No. 8 Game Adds Numbers Weapon 4 Kikoru Shinomiya, New “Valkyrie of Aspiration” Event

Kaiju No. 8 THE GAME has introduced a fresh 5-star iteration of Kikoru Shinomiya wielding Numbers Weapon 4 in its current first‑anniversary patch. The new character arrives alongside the special event titled “Valkyrie of Aspiration,” which runs a Kikoru‑focused narrative and grants over 1,500 Dimensional Crystals as part of its prize pool.

We also conducted an interview with Akatsuki Games, the studio behind the title, where they discussed the game’s objectives, exclusive material, and various other topics.

The fresh playable figure, identified as [The Valkyrie’s Successor] Kikoru Shinomiya, receives Numbers Weapon 4, previously wielded by her progenitor Hikari Shinomiya. Her preferred armament class is Ax, and the accompanying 5‑star Ax‑Freyja is also unveiled with her debut.

A dedicated character trailer and fresh promotional artwork were launched as well.

During the event, participants can claim over 1,500 Dimensional Crystals, a custom home screen, and assorted extra incentives.

Kaiju No. 8 THE GAME can be played on iOS, Android, and PC platforms.
