by theygamesTrying to judge how popular a new PC game will be before it comes out is never an exact science, but Infinity Nikki has made a pretty good case already. The upcoming cozy open-world game is due to arrive soon, and developer Infold Games confirms that it’s already racked up a staggering 30 million pre-registrations ahead of launch. That’s quite the statement, and it also means that, if you’re planning to play, you’ll be able to claim a set of special rewards to get you started on your adventure.
Infinity Nikki is the fifth entry in the series of charming fantasy gacha games, and brings the adventures of protagonist Nikki and her cat Momo to a vast, beautiful open world. Previously only available on mobile devices, it’s also the first time that the Nikki games have made their way to PC and consoles, and the response has been dramatic. With the potential for expansive character customization, outfits galore, and a vast space to explore, this is a more laid-back alternative to the likes of Genshin Impact that promises to be one of the most relaxing open-world games on PC.
As its new trailer shows, however, Infinity Nikki isn’t all sweetness and light – you’ll have to battle dangerous creatures and even some impressive set-piece boss fights. Beyond that, there are all manner of puzzles, platforming tests, and a wealth of minigames, along with all the people and creatures you’ll meet and hopefully make friends with along your journey.
In recognition of its colossal pre-launch milestone, Infold Games has a special present for everyone that plays when the game comes out. You’ll get 50,000 Blings, 300 Threads of Purity, 20 Resonite Crystals, and a four-star outfit to kickstart your collection. That’s just the beginning, however; the developer adds that more launch rewards will be revealed closer to release.
We’re still waiting on official confirmation of the Infinity Nikki release date, although a pre-order bundle listed on the PlayStation Store suggests that we might be seeing the free PC game arrive as soon as Thursday December 5. I can’t deny that I’m eager to give it a try – floating around its stunning environments as a fashion-conscious magical girl sounds like a great way to pass the cold winter months.
Until it arrives, you can take a look at what we expect from the first Infinity Nikki banners, which are where you’ll get those especially rare outfits that will help you to truly shine. We’ll even keep you up to date on if Infinity Nikki is on Steam, so you can decide where you want to play.
