Fashionistas and gacha enthusiasts (there are dozens of us) rejoice, because Infold Games has finally announced the release date for Infinity Nikki, the developer’s dress-up take on Genshin Impact.

The open-world fashion adventure is landing on PC on December 5—alongside mobile and PlayStation 5—and I for one am incredibly jazzed about it. It’s the perfect intersection for me, hitting all of the dress-up stuff I grew up with as a kid, but contained within a Hoyoverse-ass open world with platform puzzlers and explorational activities. I’m alsoa well-documented Nikki sickoat this point, having been into the series since 2017.

I even managed to successfully rope in fellow cosy games enjoyer (read: sicko) Lauren Morton during the game’s October beta, which left her"convinced" that “dress-up games are about to go mainstream”.

Anyway, Infold Games has marked the launch announcement with a brand-new trailer that seems slightly less fever dream-ish than the one it showed back at Gamescom, with more hints at what we can expect to be doing—fishing, creature capture and the like—with an admittedly banging theme song courtesy of Jessie J.

There’s also beena rather sweet letterfrom series producer Runhao Yao which has been posted across the game’s social media, which mentions that Infinity Nikki’s release date is a special one. “Twelve years ago, on this very day, we released our first game in the beloved Nikki series, Nikki UP2U: A Dressing Story. Now, our fifth Nikki game is finally ready to meet you.”
