A new trailer for Infinity Nikki, the upcoming “whimsical open-world dress-up adventure” from Infold Games, was shown at Gamescom Opening Night Live—announcing that registration for its closed beta period is now open.
Originally debuted at PlayStation’s May State of Play, Infinity Nikki invites players to explore as the titular stylist and her feline sidekick Momo. Nikki can customize colourful outfits for each occasion that don’t only look stylish, but can be customized to enhance her abilities. There’s more to it than glamour, however, as it also offers cozy open-world exploration with platforming and puzzle-solving, overseen by The Legend of Zelda assistant director Kentaro Tominaga (who previously directed Breath of the Wild‘s Expansion Pass and sub-directed A Link Between Worlds and Twilight Princess).
To achieve her stylish ends, Nikki will harness the power of Whim, the source of all magic in the world of Miraland. Stylists use this power to style and craft sketches anytime, anywhere. These outfits include the Floating Outfit for leaping across ruins, or the Gliding Outfit for coasting over the landscape, while the Shrinking Outfit shrinks Nikki down so she can explore tiny, crystal-filled caverns.
The trailer showcased Infinity Nikki‘s cute side with a spritely musical number from the various adorable animals that live in Miraland. The world’s “coziest open-world game” also teased some of the grand adventures our heroine will embark upon, as she solves intricate puzzles and ward off the darkness the bubbles under the world’s adorable surface.
Registration for Infinity Nikki’s global Closed Beta Test and mobile pre-registration are open now. The official launch will feature text support for about a dozen languages and audio support for English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese. The initial release is planned for PlayStation 5 and the Epic Game Store.
Meanwhile, mobile players can find Infinity Nikki on the App Store or Google Play to pre-register. Players will receive rewards upon the game’s launch depending on how many preregistrations it scores.
