Summary
- An Infinity Nikki leak hints at an icy dragon coming to the game in the future.
- The icy dragon model resembles one of the Eight in Whim lore, sparking speculation.
A recent Infinity Nikki leak has revealed the model of an icy dragon, hinting that this character will feature in the upcoming zone in an undetermined role. While Infinity Nikki has only released one map expansion since its launch in December 2024, the developers have been hard at work in fulfilling the game's ambitious road map. Version 1.5 will take players to Serenity Island, a new zone located in the Abandoned District, as Infinity Nikki will give the Pieceys their time to shine.
This upcoming zone in Infinity Nikki is expected to have a multiplayer component, but its scope is currently unknown. It should be noted that a different map was datamined in the past, which implied that it would feature a mushroom kingdom, a new Ability Outfit, and a dragon. Given that Wishfield is still missing one major region, as well as its Sovereign of Sweet, there is still unfinished business for Nikki before she makes her way to the next nation.
Infinity Nikki Teases Major Features and Banner Reruns
Infinity Nikki shares an overview of what players can expect in Version 1.5, including an update on housing, dyes, and the return of popular banners.
Thanks to Pantipera's efforts, Infinity Nikki players can get an early glimpse at the model of a mysterious dragon character, who is set to make their debut in an upcoming patch. It should be noted that the icy dragon isn't confirmed for Version 1.5 by any measure, as there is currently no connection between Serenity Island and the previously datamined map. Furthermore, the developers have been extremely tight-lipped about future updates for Infinity Nikki, which has made pinning down an accurate content schedule next to impossible.
Could Infinity Nikki Be Introducing One of the Eight?
Curiously, the icy dragon datamined by Pantipera shows a remarkable resemblance to one of the Eight – discoverers of Whim and the first stylists of Miraland. According to lore, half of the Eight were either killed or severely wounded in their quest to seal the Dark, which does leave the door open for some of them to return. Alternatively, the icy dragon could end up fulfilling a similar role to Kilo the Cadenceborn, who can give players valuable rewards in exchange for gathering Dews of Inspiration in Infinity Nikki.
When it comes to content that was officially confirmed by Infold, players can expect to see the dye system in Infinity Nikki with the launch of Version 1.5. As a more ambitious project teased since Version 1.0, the housing feature was delayed a second time, but is set to debut in Summer 2025. Reruns for Flutter Storm and Blooming Dreams are on the way, as players will be able to see their banners in the second half of Version 1.6 and Version 1.7, respectively. Version 1.4 will last until April 28, 2025.
