While upcoming titles like Astro Bot and Lost Soul Aside received new gameplay at ChinaJoy 2024, Papergames’ Infinity Nikki also had a significant presence. Some new gameplay was revealed on stage, showcasing how exploration and platforming work. Check it out below, courtesy of Gematsu.
While a dress-up game at its core and the latest in a series that surprisingly began in 2012, Infinity Nikki is also an open-world title. Players can swap dresses with different abilities to complete challenges, as evidenced in the recent gameplay, where utilizing a blue wavy outfit allows for gliding. Another dress can gather wind energy and launch it at foes, making it ideal for combat.
Despite how straightforward combat seems, the environments boast impressive scale and gorgeous aesthetics. At one point, the player must hop on a giant origami crane to safely traverse.
Infinity Nikki is coming to PS5, PS4, PC, and mobile devices. A release date hasn’t been announced, but a beta is coming in Q3 2024. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.
