After weeks of anticipation and numerous player inquiries, the development team behind Infinity Nikki has finally addressed the community regarding the rocky launch of Version 1.5. The update, released on April 28th, was met with criticism for feeling underdeveloped and incomplete. In a candid admission, the team acknowledged that they were not fully prepared for the rollout, leading to the decision to delay the much-anticipated Version 1.6.
Originally scheduled for June 4th, Version 1.6 has now been rescheduled to launch on June 12th. This delay has extended the current Bubble Season, keeping all its associated events active until the new release date. Players can continue enjoying events such as Chase the Bubbles, Rainbow Album, and Where Are the Gifties?, while stores like Pear-Pal Selected/Store: Clothing, Heartfelt Gifts, and the Shake Up Bubble Jar! top-up event 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, citing performance issues across various platforms, including PlayStation. They are currently refining gameplay systems and have assured players that missing storylines, such as Threads of Reunion, are not being abandoned but merely postponed.
The game has been plagued by a series of bugs, broken quests, and co-op malfunctions, prompting the team to implement damage control measures. As compensation, players will receive 120 Diamonds and 1 Crystal per day from June 5th to June 12th, provided they log in daily to claim these rewards.
Some community members view this compensation as a last-ditch effort to improve engagement metrics following recent missteps. There's also a sense of frustration among players, as the apology was quickly overshadowed by promotional banners for new in-game outfits.
