With 12 years of history behind the Nikki series, developer Infold Games has used the recent PlayStation State of Play livestream event to announce that their dress-up adventure game Infinity Nikki is heading to the PlayStation 5 in the future.
So what is a dress-up adventure game outside of being what appears to be a dangerously cute experience all around? While more details are expected in the coming months, players will take control of the titular character, Nikki and her mascot companion Momo, as she explores the game’s open-world environment, utilising the special abilities each outfit grants her.
For example, some of the confirmed outfits include:
Floating Outfit: Nikki becomes lighter and can effortlessly float over obstacles.
Purification Outfit: Nikki releases magical orbs to save creatures that have been corrupted by demonic energy.
Gliding Outfit: When navigating through a large stone forest, Nikki wears this to glide through the air on a flower she summons.
Shrinking Outfit: Nikki can shrink and stay on Momo’s head to pass through places that are inaccessible to others. Controlling Momo allows you to experience a unique gameplay perspective. Momo’s tiny physique allows him to easily enter tight spaces such as tree holes or a cannon. He can also interact with special mechanisms. For example, he can use air currents to lift himself and explore higher or hidden locations.
The development team at Infold Games also hope this will provide a relaxing environment for players to explore – allowing them to change outfits to grant them the ability to fish, catch bugs with a net, collect wool from sheep or more – with the materials collected all going towards crafting new outfits. And a photo mode? You bet’cha!
Infold Games are aiming to offer a beta test of Infinity Nikki on the PlayStation 5 later this year, with pre-registrations available via the official Infinity Nikki website.
