Summary
- The recent Infinity Nikki livestream revealed a new set of reward codes, but only Chinese accounts could redeem them.
- The developers responded by saying that international players would receive valid redemption codes at a later date.
- Update 1.2 for Infinity Nikki will be released on January 24, 2025.
The latest Infinity Nikki livestream came with a new set of reward codes, but international fans were soon disappointed to discover that only Chinese accounts could redeem them. Released in December 2024, Infinity Nikki can best be described as an action-adventure game with dress-up elements, inspired by open-world gacha titles such as Genshin Impact. Though Infinity Nikki only launched with the region of Wishfield, Infold has promised to deliver frequent updates and expansions to the game's open world.
Much like other gacha titles, banners in Infinity Nikki occupy an important role in its gameplay loop. By gathering Diamonds through gameplay, Infinity Nikki players can convert them into Resonite or Revelation Crystals, allowing them to pull for desired outfits on the Permanent or Limited Banner. While these clothing pieces frequently have desirable stats, especially for players seeking to complete the Mira Crown, it should be noted that Infinity Nikki provides plenty of free outfits and the means to upgrade them.
Infinity Nikki’s New Miracle Outfit Could Set a Worrying Precedent
Crafting the Silvergale's Aria in Infinity Nikki is a tremendous undertaking, and it raises questions about what future Miracle Outfits might require.
Update 1.2 for Infinity Nikki will be themed around the Chinese New Year, and as such, players will be able to obtain free outfits inspired by the festival, as well as Diamonds, by participating in in-game events. In addition to these rewards, the livestream for Update 1.2 also came with redemption codes that amounted to 10 Revelation Crystals and 300 Diamonds. Unfortunately, as pointed out by shirasakirin on the main subreddit for Infinity Nikki, only Chinese players could redeem them.
Devs Promise That Recent Infinity Nikki Redemption Codes Will Be Released Internationally Soon
While many Infinity Nikki fans contacted support to provide feedback and express dissatisfaction, Infold responded by stating that international players would receive valid redemption codes at a later date. It should be noted that the Nikki franchise has neglected its international community several times in the past, and as such, has been the target of various boycotts. Infinity Nikki fans hope that the game will not follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, and that all players will be treated equally by Infold going forward. Infinity Nikki reported major earnings during its first month, eclipsing the revenue of Love Nikki and Shining Nikki, and thus painting a bright future for the game.
Update 1.2 will introduce a new gliding outfit and a fireworks-themed ballgown dress, both of which are intended to be the featured 5-stars of the patch. On the other hand, fans can also expect new quality-of-life changes in Infinity Nikki, as the developers seem eager to listen to player feedback. Update 1.2 is expected to launch on January 24, 2025.
