After weeks of anticipation and player inquiries, the development team behind Infinity Nikki has finally addressed the rocky rollout of Version 1.5. If you're an avid player, you've likely experienced the frustrations of what felt like a half-baked update. The team has now admitted that they weren't fully prepared for the launch, and as a result, they've decided to delay the release of Version 1.6.
Version 1.5 hit the servers on April 28th, with Version 1.6 originally slated for June 4th. However, it has now been officially postponed to June 12th. In the meantime, the current Bubble Season will be extended, ensuring that all related events like Chase the Bubbles, Rainbow Album, and Where Are the Gifties? remain available until the new release date. Additionally, stores such as Pear-Pal Selected/Store: Clothing, Heartfelt Gifts, and the Shake Up Bubble Jar! top-up event will stay open. Weekly tasks, including Starlit Pursuit, which was initially scheduled for May 20th, have also been pushed back to coincide with the Version 1.6 release.
The developers have issued an apology, acknowledging their struggles with 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 delayed.
Recently, the game has been plagued by a host of issues, including bugs, broken quests, and co-op malfunctions. In an effort to mitigate the fallout, the team is offering daily compensation from June 5th to June 12th, consisting of 120 Diamonds and 1 Crystal per day. To receive these rewards, players must log in daily.
Some community members view this as a desperate attempt to boost engagement metrics following their recent missteps. There's also a sense of disappointment among players, as the apology message was quickly overshadowed by promotional banners for new outfits.
