Infinity Nikki: Release date, gameplay, trailers & everything we know

Find out everything you need to know about the upcoming open-world adventure game Infinity Nikki, including its release window, gameplay, and more.

First announced in November 2022, the Infinity Nikki trailer shows off stunning open-world gameplay filled with lush, beautiful sceneries and the one thing the franchise is known for – fashion.

For the uninitiated, the Nikki series started with a smaller-scale mobile game called Nikki UP2U in 2012, where players could dress Nikki in various clothes for different activities. Since then, several installments have been released, each introducing a range of new features.

Now, the dress-up game developed by PaperGames is set to launch with a vast open-world concept and an approach to adventure and exploration – all while still highlighting fashion as its core. Here’s everything we know about the game so far, including its release window, trailers, and more.

Infinity Nikki Release Date

Infinity Nikki will be released on December 5, 2024. The game will also be available on multiple platforms upon launch, such as PC, PS5, iOS and Android.

Rest assured, those planning to play on multiple devices can switch back and forth easily without losing their progress as Infinity Nikki supports cross-platform.

Infinity Nikki Beta

Previously, there was a Closed Beta period for those who wanted to take a peek early at the game. Though it has now already ended, the beta was available from October 8 until 22.

Players had to fill out a survey to claim a chance to get a spot before September 29. Additionally, this was only open on PC and mobile, with cross-platform progression already included.

Infinity Nikki Gameplay

Infinity Nikki introduces us to a magical world that looks straight out of a Ghibli movie. The game isn’t just about picking cute outfits for Nikki, as along with Momo, you’ll be traversing various Zelda-style dungeons and shrines while utilizing different movement mechanics.

These outfits don’t just look pretty, but each of them has different effects, which reminds me of American McGee’s Alice Madness Returns. 

For example, there’s an outfit that lets you become smaller to explore tiny spaces, an outfit that lets you hover in the air, and even turns you into a massive-sized titan, among others.

According to the game’s description, there are also outfits with “magical abilities” that can further help you during exploration – and it’s up to you to utilize them to navigate the platforming challenges and puzzles.

Aside from these, the game has some cozy elements, such as fishing, catching bugs, and cooking, as shown in the trailer. As far as combat goes, so far, players can fight the enemies and change outfits in the middle of an encounter to switch things up.

Infinity Nikki Story

The game follows the story of Nikki and Momo, who embark on a new adventure to travel across Miraland – a fantasy setting filled with lush, breathtaking sceneries and environments. Though the journey isn’t without challenges as there are puzzles to be solved and boss battles as well as other enemies to deal with. Nikki can utilize different outfits, each with distinctive abilities, to navigate the world during this adventure. 

Infinity Nikki Trailers

The first teaser of Infinity Nikki, released in November 2022, gives us a glimpse of the world, mechanics, and Nikki in action using different outfits.

Meanwhile, The Reunion Playtest: Gameplay Demo Preview shows off more parts of the world, which includes some spooky elements and intense battles.

Finally, in the latest official release date announcement trailer, we can see some of the platforming mechanics in action, whether that be climbing, navigating through holes, tiny spaces, an underground-like area, and even using a canon-like device to soar up in the sky.
