''Nikke'' takes place in a post-apocalyptic far future where the Earth was unexpectedly attacked by unknown mechanical creatures called the Rapture who destroyed everything on the surface, forcing the remaining humans to take refuge underground and establish the Ark.<ref name=":13" /> Decades later,<ref name=":12" /> several manufacturers worked on building humanoid soldiers called the Nikke to be used as a weapon to defeat the Raptures and restore mankind on the surface.<ref name=":14" /><ref name=":15" />
''Nikke'' was developed by South Korean-based company Shift Up working with publisher Level Infinite.<ref name=":9" /> Development began in 2018<ref name=":11" /> and the game was first revealed at the Crank in Showcase event in 2019, with several trade exhibitions being held ahead of its release, such as at G-Star<ref name=":8" /> or Tokyo Game Show.<ref name=":10" /> The two companies hosted closed beta tests for the global version between the announcement and its release, allowing selected registrants to test the game mechanics.<ref name=":9" /> The game was initially planned for a worldwide release for Android and iOS in 2020,<ref name=":16" /> but was rescheduled to November 4, 2022, surpassing three million pre-registrations ahead of the date.<ref name=":6" /> The game contains voice-overs in English, Japanese and Korean.<ref name=":9" />
''Nikke'' was originally planned to be played from a first person perspective but was later changed to incorporate battle poses inspired by the Gears of War series.<ref name=":17" /> Shift Up's CEO Kim Hyung-tae, who was responsible for the production and illustrations, believed that chibi art style is too compressed and opted for life-size illustrations "where the aesthetics of characters would be completely demonstrated."<ref name=":1" />
