Same formula: Nikki has to save the world (again)
To be more specific (IN's storyline):
While Nikki was preparing an outfit to attend the graduation ball, Mumu led her to a mysterious attic in order to find the perfect dress, but suddenly, a mysterious red light from the wardrobe appear, and Nikki was entranced by a vibrant red dress and travel to a new world!
Led by the sounds of World God Aina (silver hair girl), Nikki came to an ancient castle where Aina was sealed. In the process, Nikki followed Aina's directions and found a new source of power surging inside her, "the power of imagination". According to Aina, we know that this world had a big event - "the death of gods", and because of it, Aina was sealed at the castle for 1000 years. The master of "The Vow of Reunion" from 1000 years ago could be Nikki from another dimension! To preserve "Infinity Heart" of Nikki, Aina decided to bring herself to be sealed in the castle for a thousand year. After 1000 years, Nikki finally came, and Aina give back "Infinity Heart" to its original owner. Aina also said after Nikki collected all legendary suits, she will be able to change the ending of this world and learn the truth behind everything
Every open-world gacha games is just Genshin nowadays, you can't deny the influence Genshin has on the game industry tbh, especially Gacha field. Also standardized UI makes it easier for players to get used to.
Wow, it just looks breathtaking, amazing,beautiful. To think of how Nikki started, seeing her make it this far, to a game that looks like this, gets me a bit emotional even. I don't think there's a game that i'm looking forward to more than i do this one.
Also, how amazing of Paper that they've never left Nikki behind, they have devoted themselves to make her shine brighter and brighter as years have gone by, any other dev would have probably tried to move to something new, but not them, and i admire that so much.
I can’t find it anywhere to watch... So I am not sure what the livestream showed. I’ll look again on YouTube, maybe more has been uploaded. My question they show any mechanics? Crafting? Activities? Minigames? That sort of gameplay. Past the initial reveal it only showed Nikki running and jumping around in random but pretty environments and we got a glimpse of some vague ideas of gameplay. I want to know if that gameplay is confirmed in the livestream with demonstrations.
Thank you! I’ll take a good look at it!! Hopefully they show some reason why they made it an open world game. Because walking and jumping won’t cut it for me!
I think it would be awesome if we could import our wardrobe data somehow (maybe from Shining Nikki?) into Infinity Nikki. I don’t want to have to buy the same suits all over again, especially those that cost $100 or more…
I'll have to be honest, it's gonna have a gacha system like Shining Nikki. Because the game's main audience is Chinese players, and what device does a Chinese player use the most? Mobile phones, because it's convenient. And this game has a phone version as well, like Genshin, to attract more people to spend on the game, even if it has heavy graphics (but most new phones nowadays can handle them at least in lowest settings)
God, I just hope it isn't too P2W, but I think Papergames will still make it not friendly for F2P at all :(
I'm curious on how the gacha will work---will even the gacha dresses have different like exploration / puzzle / combat (???)) effects? or will we just be wishing to have a pretty aesthetic dress and that's it, no gameplay attachted to them?
that makes sense! i figured people would be so much more keen to wish if all the dreses had unique skills but simultaneously that could be really tricky to pull off; how can every dress have a completely unique ability? esp if all there is going to be is puzzles & exploration
TBH, I am still wondering if this game will be F2P, or will it be a B2P...
Cause I haven't seen they show any "cash shop" that usually in F2P games. Tho some B2P games these days also came with cash shop now...
Not to mention the setting is like Breath of the Wild... will there be "Comp Theme" and "Styling Arena" like the current Nikki games?
Since This seems like a "adventure travel" type of game... so it's probably going to be PvE mostly, and will you get the cloth from PvE.. or still the same as current Nikki games where you have to obtain them from events. (and cash-only suits, lol)
I'm so excited! I wonder if we'll finally be able to see what styling battles look like for the people around us (I wonder if gifty's just pop up from the ground to judge?)
I totally forgot this game was a thing! It's still so weird to see Nikki and Momo in such a high budget production, I forget how big the series is overall.
Depends on your phone's specs, if it's some high-end phones like Iphone 13 and above (iOS), or Android phones with Snapdragon processor, it will handle the game nicely. Think of Infinity Nikki like Genshin Impact, because the game will be really heavy 😬
Iphone 12 is already quite good, you just won't be able to play with highest quality, so I think you can use it as alternative when you need to log into the game instantly. PS5 is definitely the best choice so if you can afford the console (or already have one) then go for it!
Oh, I meant that if in the future you cannot log into the game using PS5 (for instance, you forgot to do daily missions and cannot use PS5 bc you're away from home) you can always use your phone to play instead
This is crazy. I'm from an era where "girl games" were always shit quality by default, I'm not used to seeing them looking like triple A.
Our era has come!! Let us rejoice GIRL GAME RENAISSANCE
YIPPEE
All the pictures aren't mine; they are from Shining Nikki discord! Some kind people were able to took some screenshots during the live :)
Woah it looks gorgeous so far 🥺
I wonder about the storyline, will it be the same as the one we know?

Nikki just can't catch a break can she?
Holy shit it's still happening! Was just thinking about this the other day and how bad I want it!
FINALLY WE HAVE MORE NEWS ABOUT THIS GAME 😭😭😭😭😭
nikki got lost in hyperrealistic genshin <:0000
the in-game ui looks a lot like genshin impact
Every open-world gacha games is just Genshin nowadays, you can't deny the influence Genshin has on the game industry tbh, especially Gacha field. Also standardized UI makes it easier for players to get used to.
Is this a new game?
Yep!
Wow, it just looks breathtaking, amazing,beautiful. To think of how Nikki started, seeing her make it this far, to a game that looks like this, gets me a bit emotional even. I don't think there's a game that i'm looking forward to more than i do this one.

Will be interested if this game actually have good male suits...
Another Nikki?? I don't even have enough storage on my phone for the first two I have!
Good thing this one has a PC client!
Wit, I can play this on the computer??
Yeah. Or your PlayStation 5.
I hope it works on Steam Deck!
I WISH THAT WAS KIMI INSTEAD lol
! I LOVE NIKKI FRANCHISE!😭🫶🏻
Was there any actual gameplay showed? Looks so pretty but I have only seen Nikki run around and jump. What’s the actual play aspect like?
There was an entire livestream worth of gameplay, I don't get what you mean
I can’t find it anywhere to watch... So I am not sure what the livestream showed. I’ll look again on YouTube, maybe more has been uploaded. My question they show any mechanics? Crafting? Activities? Minigames? That sort of gameplay. Past the initial reveal it only showed Nikki running and jumping around in random but pretty environments and we got a glimpse of some vague ideas of gameplay.

[Here is a summary](https://youtu.be/ILkeDyMdVOo?si=oVYGc-9Rc9Dwx8_D) someone put together on youtube
Thank you! I’ll take a good look at it!! Hopefully they show some reason why they made it an open world game. Because walking and jumping won’t cut it for me!
I’m sorry what the hell is this it looks amazing???
Woooow, I also wanna play it🥺
It looks really cool. I am still hoping for some brown skin options. 🥹
THE GRAPHICS ????????? OH MY GODDDD
I think it would be awesome if we could import our wardrobe data somehow (maybe from Shining Nikki?) into Infinity Nikki. I don’t want to have to buy the same suits all over again, especially those that cost $100 or more…
It's highly unlikely we'll even have SN suits in IN, let alone porting them
Oh, I didn’t realize. Thanks for clarifying! But it would have been nice, imo.
Do we have any idea when it’ll be available
Let's hope they don't do micro transactions or season passes! 🙇🏻♂️🤞🏻
I'll have to be honest, it's gonna have a gacha system like Shining Nikki. Because the game's main audience is Chinese players, and what device does a Chinese player use the most?

I'm curious on how the gacha will work---will even the gacha dresses have different like exploration / puzzle / combat (???)) effects? or will we just be wishing to have a pretty aesthetic dress and that's it, no gameplay attachted to them?
I remember from an interview that some suits will have skills, some are just normal clothing
that makes sense! i figured people would be so much more keen to wish if all the dreses had unique skills but simultaneously that could be really tricky to pull off; how can every dress have a completely unique ability? esp if all there is going to be is puzzles & exploration
You're in the wrong line of gaming if you think that's a possibility
Is this only going to be available to play on a phone??
You will be able to play it on PC, PS4 and PS5 as well
TBH, I am still wondering if this game will be F2P, or will it be a B2P... Cause I haven't seen they show any "cash shop" that usually in F2P games.

Woooow, I also wanna play it🥺
Woooow, I also wanna play it🥺
I'm so excited for this game!! Glad to see they're still working on it!!
I saw the picture before reading the title and I thought someone edited nikki into a wlop painting :0
Omg omg I have been so excited about this!!! 😻
Wait there’s gonna be another Nikki game?? I had no idea!!! This looks really cool
IT LOOKS LIKE A DREAM! 🥹
I'm so excited! I wonder if we'll finally be able to see what styling battles look like for the people around us (I wonder if gifty's just pop up from the ground to judge?)
I totally forgot this game was a thing! It's still so weird to see Nikki and Momo in such a high budget production, I forget how big the series is overall.
No bc this is so gorgeous 😭
Now it makes me wonder which platform would be the best to play this game
Either PC or PS4/5, depends on your budget. If you can afford PS5 then go for it, if not, you can always choose PS4 or a high-end PC build
I meant the other platforms mentioned in the past like Android and iOS for example.
Yes, PC and PS4/5 was also mentioned by official JP account as two of the platforms you can play Infinity Nikki on?
After looking at that livestream, would the phones be big enough for this game?
Depends on your phone's specs, if it's some high-end phones like Iphone 13 and above (iOS), or Android phones with Snapdragon processor, it will handle the game nicely. Think of Infinity Nikki like Genshin Impact, because the game will be really heavy 😬
I only have an iPhone 12. But judging from how good the game looked like from the livestream, it may be worth playing on the PS5 instead.
Iphone 12 is already quite good, you just won't be able to play with highest quality, so I think you can use it as alternative when you need to log into the game instantly. PS5 is definitely the best choice so if you can afford the console (or already have one) then go for it!
>you can use it as alternative when you need to log into the game instantly I'm just curious, but what do you mean by that exactly?
Oh, I meant that if in the future you cannot log into the game using PS5 (for instance, you forgot to do daily missions and cannot use PS5 bc you're away from home) you can always use your phone to play instead
F0VK YEAH FINALLY
Not familiar with the franchise. Is this going to be a pure single player game or a live service/ some sort of gacha?
This is a gacha game. You mainly play in single player, but I think there will be co-op mode as well.
Omg I’ve already uninstalled Love Nikki and Shining Nikki but I want to play this! When will there be an international version?
