Infinity Nikki's upcoming release boasts a star-studded development team and a stunning behind-the-scenes documentary. This fashion-focused open-world game, launching December 4th (EST/PST), unveils its creation story in a 25-minute video showcasing the dedication and passion poured into its development.
The journey began in December 2019, with a secret project aiming to seamlessly blend the Nikki IP's dress-up mechanics with an open-world experience. A dedicated team, working in a separate office to maintain secrecy, spent over a year laying the groundwork. Game designer Sha Dingyu highlighted the unprecedented challenge of this integration, requiring the creation of a completely new framework.

The documentary emphasizes the team's commitment to evolving the Nikki franchise beyond its mobile origins. Instead of a simple mobile sequel, they pursued a technological leap, culminating in the first PC and console release for the series. The producer's clay model of the Grand Millewish Tree exemplifies the team's dedication and creative vision.
The video showcases Miraland's vibrant world, focusing on the mystical Grand Millewish Tree and its inhabitants. Game designer Xiao Li highlights the dynamic NPCs, each with their own routines, creating a lively and immersive environment.

Infinity Nikki's visual excellence is attributed not only to the core Nikki team but also to internationally renowned talent. Kentaro “Tomiken” Tominaga, a veteran from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, serves as Lead Sub Director. Concept artist Andrzej Dybowski, known for his work on The Witcher 3, also contributed his expertise.
After 1814 days of development, Infinity Nikki is poised for launch. Prepare to explore Miraland alongside Nikki and Momo this December!
