Fashionistas and gacha enthusiasts (there are dozens of us) rejoice, because Infold Games has finally announced the release date for Infinity Nikki, the developer's dress-up take on Genshin Impact.
The open-world fashion adventure is landing on PC on December 5—alongside mobile and PlayStation 5—and I for one am incredibly jazzed about it.
It's the perfect intersection for me, hitting all of the dress-up stuff I grew up with as a kid, but contained within a Hoyoverse-ass open world with platform puzzlers and explorational activities.
I'm also a well-documented Nikki sicko at this point, having been into the series since 2017. I even managed to successfully rope in fellow cosy games enjoyer (read: sicko) Lauren Morton during the game's October beta, which left her«convinced» that «dress-up games are about to go mainstream».
Anyway, Infold Games has marked the launch announcement with a brand-new trailer that seems slightly less fever dream-ish than the one it showed back at Gamescom, with more hints at what we can expect to be doing—fishing, creature capture and the like—with an admittedly banging theme song courtesy of Jessie J.
