Upcoming fantasy adventure game Infinity Nikki has just got its first trailer, and it's the prettiest thing I've ever seen. 

Headed up by former Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game designer Kentaro Tominaga (thanks Gematsu / IGN China) and developed by Paper Games, Infinity Nikki is part of the Nikki Up2U series, which started life as a series of dress-up mobile games. It looks like things have been shaken up drastically for the fifth instalment of the series, though, as Infinity Nikki is a 3D platformer adventure with dress-up elements. 

The gameplay appears varied as well. Nikki can be seen performing a bunch of platforming techniques before later going on to use outfit-dependent magic, and even a dandelion seed glider at one point. There are even some RPG elements to this game as during one section of the four-minute trailer we see Nikki fishing as well as catching "bugs", fighting enemies, and purchasing new outfits from a store.

Infinity Nikki certainly looks interesting, but unfortunately, we haven't got a release date for this title just yet. All we do know is that it's set to come to PC, PS4, and PS5, as well as iOS and Android devices.  

Either way, I'm super excited to explore more of Miraland whenever Infinity Nikki does eventually release. 

Curious about what other games we have to look forward to? Take a look at our new games 2023 list.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
