Summary
- Infinity Nikki fans get an early look at the home island map, hinting at an upcoming housing feature in Update 1.3.
- Infold aims to continuously improve Infinity Nikki by adding quality-of-life features and evolving the housing system.
A recent leak from the Infinity Nikki community has given its fans an early look at the home island map, which is intended to be the game's answer to player housing. It's no secret that Infinity Nikki has been a major success for Infold. It quickly established a worldwide audience, eclipsing the launch of previous Nikki games several times over. Combining the dress-up elements of its predecessors with a vibrant open world, many fans have described Infinity Nikki as a relaxing and cozy experience.
While players are encouraged to pull on banners in Infinity Nikki, the game provides plenty of content to earn the required currency. From mini-games and chests to quests and fashion challenges, Infinity Nikki is filled to the brim with content, and Infold is determined to continue expanding the overall experience. One of the upcoming features that players are most excited about is housing, which will be available in the near future.
Infinity Nikki: How to Get Fiery Glow Outfit
The Fiery Glow outfit in Infinity Nikki takes some explosive adventure to acquire but it's a must-have steampunk look for the wardrobe.
Though housing was teased during an Infinity Nikki livestream for Update 1.0, players can get a sneak peek of the Home Feature thanks to @KK_ChainKris, who shared an overview of the island map and provided an image of its lavender fields. The island itself appears to be spacious and seems to be shaped like a heart. The common assumption is that Wishfield in Infinity Nikki is supposed to get one more map expansion before the game moves onto its next region, which could place the debut of the Home Feature for Update 1.3.
Infinity Nikki Could Be Getting Housing in Update 1.3
There are two key reasons why player housing in Infinity Nikki is most likely to come in Update 1.3. Infold stated that players would get a new region every six months. By the end of Update 1.2, Infinity Nikki will be halfway through its Wishfield cycle. Secondly, there are still a few Whim Balloons missing from the Firework Isles in Infinity Nikki, which implies that they will likely be scattered throughout the home island.
Despite launching in December 2024, Infinity Nikki has added many quality-of-life features to the game, as the developers continue to react to player feedback with commendable speed. As such, the housing system will likely continue to evolve over the course of Infinity Nikki, but it should be noted that its debut will already allow in-depth customization of both the interior and exterior of Nikki's house. Until then, players can enjoy Update 1.2, as its 4-Star outfits are still a few weeks away.
