Infinity Nikki Fans Have Chance to Play the Game Early

The developers of Infinity Nikki have announced that PS5 players can now apply for a chance to participate in a closed technical playtest, giving fans an opportunity to experience the game early. Infinity Nikki is an upcoming open-world dress-up adventure that stands as the fifth installment in Papergames’ renowned Nikki series.

With Infinity Nikki expanding onto PS5 and PC, it marks the first open-world game in the Nikki Up2U series and the first not exclusively limited to mobile platforms. Notably, the development team includes Kentaro Tominaga — known for his work on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Skyward Sword — who brings a wealth of experience in open-world design to the project. These developments have generated significant buzz among fans eager to enjoy the dress-up RPG in new ways.

Now, an announcement on Infinity Nikki’s official Twitter account revealed that recruitment for a PS5 closed technical playtest has begun. Interested players can apply to try out Infinity Nikki‘s cozy action by completing an application questionnaire between October 27 at 21:00 (UTC-7) and November 1 at 08:59 (UTC-7). The developers specified that this is a non-IAP (in-app purchase), data-wipe closed beta with limited participants, emphasizing that all progress will be erased after the test concludes.

• Application Begins: October 27 at 21:00 (UTC-7)
• Ends: November 1 at 08:59 (UTC-7)

The playtest is confined to the North American region due to server limitations and latency issues, and only players with a PS5 and a PSN account are eligible to participate. The team stated, “All the content you are about to experience is still under development and does not represent the final quality of the game.” They also highlighted the confidential nature of the test, prohibiting participants from sharing any information — including text, screenshots, or videos — on any platform. Selected players will be notified via email after the recruitment phase ends, and the account used for the questionnaire must be the same as the one used during the playtest.

What the PS5 Playtest Means for the Future of Infinity Nikki

The opportunity for players to participate in the closed technical playtest marks a pivotal moment in Infinity Nikki‘s development cycle. Allowing fans early access not only builds anticipation but also enables the developers to gather essential feedback on gameplay mechanics and server performance. This collaborative approach reflects the team’s commitment to delivering a polished final product that meets the community’s expectations, especially after it became PlayStation State of Play’s most popular trailer.

Looking ahead, these playtesting phases are likely to contribute significantly to the game’s readiness for a global launch. While the current test is limited to North American PS5 users, the developers have expressed intentions to expedite preparations for other regions based on the data collected. Infinity Nikki‘s ongoing global pre-registration milestone and active community engagement indicate that the hype isn’t going anywhere, and by prioritizing player involvement and transparency, the developers are setting the stage for a successful entry into the open-world genre.
