Players will have one chance per day to try their luck at acquiring an outfit, and once you receive an outfit, it won’t repeat for you. Magical Mirai 2016 is guaranteed to be among your first three attempts, and your final attempt can also get you some background artwork. Once the collaboration period is over, however, these outfits and backgrounds will not be available again.

Thankfully, there is another method of acquiring the outfits. Among the players who follow Miracle Nikki’s official Weibo page and share this post, five will be randomly chosen to receive Magical Mirai 2018 Miku, and three lucky people will instantly receive the full set of 5 outfits!

Miracle Nikki can be downloaded from the App Store and for Androids. We will continue to update as more details are announced as the collaboration start date draws closer.
