Zelda designer’s new ‘coziest open-world game’ has a release date

Infinity Nikki, the self-proclaimed ‘coziest open-world game’ helmed by a former Legend of Zelda designer, has announced a release date of December 5 on PC, iOS, Android, and PlayStation 5.

Developed by Singapore-based Infold Games, Infinity Nikki sees players explore an Unreal Engine 5-powered world, performing activities such as fishing, pet grooming and fashion contests. Over 30 million players have pre-registered for the game, according to its developer.

The game is being helmed by Kentaro Tominaga, who was previously sub-director for Zelda games The Wind Waker, A Link Between Worlds, and Twilight Princess. The designer most recently worked on Switch titles Breath of the World and Tears of the Kingdom.

In a new trailer published on Thursday, fans can hear the full Infinity Nikki theme song Together Till Infinity for the first time, performed by pop star Jessie J.

Infold said: “After the wildly successful Closed Beta last month, players worldwide will soon be able to float, glide and plunge their way around the world again, tackling cleverly designed puzzles while exploring the possibilities offered by the coziest open-world imaginable, with soaring paper cranes, speeding wine cellar minecarts, mysterious ghost trains, many other hidden secrets to be discovered in an ever-expanding and evolving world.”
