Previously a mobile-only game, Infinity Nikki is now a multiplatform open-world role-playing game thanks to its global debut today, December 5.
The game, which is the fifth installment in the 12-year-old series, has further expanded the franchise with its 3D platforming, puzzle-solving, and extravagant elements. Infinity Nikki has been dubbed "the cosiest open-world game" by Infold Games.
Infinity Nikki outperformed games like Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact from HoYoverse, hitting its pre-registration goal of 30 million in time for launch.
The series has made its first cross-platform transition, extending from mobile to PC, PS4, and PS5.
In 2012, the Nikki series started off as a dress-up mobile game called Nikki UP2U, in which users dressed the main character in different ensembles based on her intentions, such as dressing for bed or going out to dinner.
The third chapter, Love Nikki - Dress Up Queen, was when the series really took off, but the sequel, Hello Nikki - Let's Beauty Up, saw Nikki traverse the world. The franchise hasn't looked back since this mobile game's magical settings and dress-up fights propelled it to over 100 million installations and over $285 million in gross sales, according to AppMagic estimates.
Since its 2019 debut, Shining Nikki: Fashion Makeover, the most recent installment in the series, has earned over $400 million.
The high-fidelity clothes created in Unreal Engine 5 and the power of "Whim" in 2024's Infinity Nikki is an improvement above its predecessors, allowing players to create new looks whenever they choose.
With veteran The Legend of Zelda director Kentaro Tominaga at the helm, Miraland offers a plethora of new areas to explore, ranging from verdant woods to enchanted kingdoms.
Creativity finds a way through the cozy patterns of existence. Wonder is waiting around every corner as a tale is revealed in every glimpse and stop, according to a tweet from the official English Infinity Nikki account.
Infinity Nikki is currently the coziest open-world game available.
