For real
Cosy games are a whole genre these days, and Infinity Nikki may be about to steal the crown. The upcoming open world platformer – a massively upgraded edition of Infold Games’ long-running fashion franchise – looks a lot like Genshin Impact in this gameplay trailer, as you switch between outfits to unlock different gameplay possibilities.
This trailer focuses a lot on exploration, but there’s plenty to discover along the way. For example, in one instance you’ll need to take a photograph of some birds in a cage, and so you need to solve a fairly simple perspective puzzle to complete the task. Another sequence sees you navigating a ghost train, dodging whimsical ghosts along the way.
Everything looks pretty and vibrant; it’s the epitome of a cosy game. While there does appear to be plenty to do, we’re worried it all looks a little too easy, but we’re sure there’ll be plenty of depth.
As a live service gacha, we’re expecting new outfits and abilities to be added over time, providing an unlimited amount of variety. We can’t wait to see how the release grows and evolves.
There’s a beta test running on PC and mobile right now, with a PS5 version set to follow before the end of the year. We’re hoping to get our hands on that so we can bring you our initial impressions, so keep your eyes peeled for more.
