After weeks of 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 now the team has acknowledged that they were not fully prepared for the launch. As a result, the eagerly anticipated Version 1.6 has been delayed.
Version 1.5 was released on April 28th, with Version 1.6 originally scheduled for June 4th. However, it has now been rescheduled to June 12th. In the meantime, the current Bubble Season will be extended, keeping events like Chase the Bubbles, Rainbow Album, and Where Are the Gifties? active until the new release date. Stores such as Pear-Pal Selected/Store: Clothing, Heartfelt Gifts, and the Shake Up Bubble Jar! top-up event will also remain open. Additionally, weekly tasks like Starlit Pursuit, initially planned for May 20th, will now be part of Version 1.6.
The developers have issued an apology, admitting to struggles with performance issues across various platforms, including PlayStation. They are currently refining gameplay systems and have reassured players that missing storylines, such as Threads of Reunion, are not being abandoned but merely delayed.
Recently, Infinity Nikki has been plagued by numerous bugs, broken quests, and co-op malfunctions. To address these issues, the developers are offering compensation in the form of 120 Diamonds and 1 Crystal per day from June 5th to June 12th, which players can claim by logging in daily.
Some players view this compensation as a desperate attempt to boost engagement after the series of mishaps. There's also frustration among the community because the apology was quickly overshadowed by promotional banners for new outfits.
