After weeks of anticipation and player inquiries, the development team behind Infinity Nikki has finally addressed the rocky rollout of Version 1.5. Many players felt that the update was released prematurely, and the team has now acknowledged that they were not fully prepared for the launch. As a result, the release of Version 1.6 has been delayed.
When Is the Update Releasing?
Originally scheduled for June 4th, Version 1.6's release has been postponed to June 12th. Version 1.5 was rolled out on April 28th, and in the meantime, the ongoing Bubble Season will be extended. Events such as Chase the Bubbles, Rainbow Album, and Where Are the Gifties? will continue until the new release date. Stores like Pear-Pal Selected/Store: Clothing, Heartfelt Gifts, and the Shake Up Bubble Jar! top-up event will remain open, and weekly tasks like Starlit Pursuit, initially planned for May 20th, will now be part of Version 1.6.
The developers have issued an apology, citing struggles with performance across various platforms, including PlayStation. They are currently refining gameplay systems and have assured players that missing storylines, such as Threads of Reunion, are not being abandoned but merely delayed.
Apart from the Version 1.6 Delays, What’s Up with Infinity Nikki?
Recently, Infinity Nikki has been plagued by bugs, broken quests, and co-op issues. To mitigate the impact, the team is offering compensation in the form of 120 Diamonds and 1 Crystal per day, available from June 5th to June 12th, but players must log in daily to claim these rewards.
Some community members view this as a last-ditch effort to improve engagement metrics following their recent missteps. Additionally, there's been frustration over the swift transition from the apology to promotional activities for new outfits, which many felt was poorly timed.
