Summary
- An Infinity Nikki leak reportedly reveals the Limited Banners for the next three updates following the controversial Version 1.5.
- Version 1.6 and 1.7 leaks tease new 5-Star outfits, and the rumored double Linlang banner in Version 1.8.
- Infold responded to a boycott over Version 1.5 by delaying Version 1.6 and compensating players.
A recent leak in the Infinity Nikki community has seemingly revealed the next slate of Limited Banners coming after the controversial Version 1.5. Despite the current sentiment among Infinity Nikki fans, Infold continues to invest considerable money into its latest Miraland project. The developer team working on Infinity Nikki has grown considerably in the past six months, as several patches are being worked on at the same time. The first of these is expected to launch on June 12.
As a result of its technical issues, story changes, and questionable monetization, Infinity Nikki suffered a boycott from its players in Version 1.5. While the long-term effects remain to be seen, Infold was compelled to respond by delaying Version 1.6, providing players further compensation, and clarifying what went wrong with the latest update. Despite the apology, most Infinity Nikki players have their eyes set on Version 1.6, which may end up being Infold's first step towards rebuilding the community's trust.
Infinity Nikki Responds to Negative Feedback Over Version 1.5
After weeks of silence, the developers of Infinity Nikki open up about Version 1.5 and discuss plans to address the game's major issues.
According to information making rounds on RedNote, compiled and translated by shirasakirin, Version 1.6 will revolve around the Twinmoon Kingdom to some degree. Whether this means the rumored mushroom zone from earlier Infinity Nikki leaks remains to be seen, but players should expect Version 1.6 to feature a 5-Star outfit allegedly inspired by the fairy godmother archetype. By contrast, the leak claims that Version 1.7 will feature a 5-Star outfit with a banshee or succubus design, while Version 1.8 will be the rumored double Linlang banner.
Infinity Nikki: What Players Can Expect in Version 1.6, Version 1.7, and Version 1.8
Linlang was initially teased in Version 1.2, when the New Bloom Festival came to Florawish, offering Nikki and Momo a first glimpse of the new Infinity Nikki kingdom. Given previous content patterns, it's safe to assume that Version 1.8 will feature a new Infinity Nikki zone, as double banners tend to coincide with the release of a new area. Earlier rumors also point towards Version 1.8 being a large update, which certainly adds some credibility to the leak. Unfortunately, the latest information implies that both Linlang outfits will feature 11 pieces, a decision that many Infinity Nikki players found controversial in Version 1.5.
Version 1.8 will seemingly also introduce Housing to Infinity Nikki, a feature that has been teased by Infold since the launch of the game. While it was delayed until Summer 2025, the current content schedule implies that fans will only get housing at the end of the summer. Given how poorly the dye system and Sea of Stars were received in Version 1.5, it may be for the best if Infold took its time to perfect the feature before introducing it to the live servers. Ultimately, Infinity Nikki should take these leaks with a grain of salt, as trustworthy sources take time to build a reputation.
