Infinity Nikki developer Papergames has announced the release schedule for update 1.3 on PS5, PC, iOS and Android.
Titled the Eerie Season, update 1.3 has a February 26 release date for fans living in the UK.
However, the new content won’t actually be available until after a period of server downtime, which starts at 7.30pm GMT UK time on February 25. The extended server downtime runs until 3am GMT on the morning of February 26.
While server maintenance is never ideal, fans can download and install update 1.3 when the game is offline.
As you can see from the patch notes below, the Eerie Season introduces a selection of new limited time events, as well as a new dungeon.
Indeed, players will be able to explore the forsaken Queen’s Palace Ruins when the game comes back online, all the while uncovering secrets hidden in the echoes of a cursed song. Players will also be able to assist the legendary creature Bullquet in what Papergames describes as a “heartwarming side event”.
Needless to say, the update also introduces a host of new outfits and items, including the free Dream Chaser costume.
“Additionally, the Heartfelt Gifts Store will offer three more free outfits, bringing the total to nine free outfits across three versions to continue Infold’s commitment to continuously optimise the game and ensure player satisfaction,” the developer explains.
As you can tell from the statement above, Papergames will also make a ton of improvements and optimisations.
This includes the addition of playback progress bars for certain Pose, as well as a button for jumping to sketches crafting interface when getting a new sketch.
