After weeks of players eagerly awaiting answers, the development team behind Infinity Nikki has finally addressed the rocky rollout of Version 1.5. The update, released on April 28th, was met with criticism for feeling rushed and incomplete. Acknowledging their missteps, the team has now admitted that they weren't fully prepared for the launch. As a result, the much-anticipated Version 1.6, originally scheduled for June 4th, has been delayed to June 12th.
The new release date for Version 1.6 is set for June 12th. In the meantime, the current Bubble Season will be extended to accommodate the delay. This means that all ongoing events, such as Chase the Bubbles, Rainbow Album, and Where Are the Gifties?, will continue until the new release date. Additionally, stores like Pear-Pal Selected/Store: Clothing, Heartfelt Gifts, and the Shake Up Bubble Jar! top-up event will remain open. Weekly tasks, including Starlit Pursuit, which was initially scheduled for May 20th, will now be part of Version 1.6.
The developers have issued an apology, citing challenges with performance across various platforms, including PlayStation. They are currently working on refining gameplay systems and have reassured players that missing storylines, such as Threads of Reunion, have not been abandoned but merely delayed.
The game has been plagued with issues, including bugs, broken quests, and co-op malfunctions. To address these problems, the team is offering daily compensation from June 5th to June 12th, consisting of 120 Diamonds and 1 Crystal per day. Players must log in daily to claim these rewards.
Some community members view this compensation as a last-ditch effort to boost player engagement following the recent setbacks. Others have expressed frustration over the timing of the apology, which was quickly overshadowed by promotional banners for new outfits.
