Infinity Nikkis Danqing Season Turns Ink and Myth Into Living Magic
The next chapter of Infinity Nikki unfolds in Version 1.8: Danqing Season, a breathtaking seasonal update inspired by the timeless elegance of traditional Chinese painting.
Running from July 30 to September 2, this immersive new story whisks players away to Danqing Island, a place where brushstroke and reality blur into one.
Named after the ancient Chinese word for painting, “danqing”, which refers to the red and blue-green pigments used in classical art-this update celebrates color, craftsmanship, and the spirit of cultural artistry. In this latest adventure, Nikki and Momo follow strange ripples in the Sea of Stars that lead them to a mysterious scroll and an island untouched by time.
Danqing Island is a dreamlike, secluded realm introduced for the first time in Version 1.8. Guided by the Seer, Nikki ventures into a parallel world where mist-veiled mountains, bamboo groves, and crystalline lakes come together to form a living ink painting. But beneath this serene landscape lies a growing mystery: villagers have begun to vanish, and only by unraveling the island’s secrets can Nikki hope to bring them home.
In addition to a new main story, Danqing Season offers players a range of mini-games and immersive activities-play traditional Weiqi (Go), drift lazily on bamboo rafts, snap photos with aesthetic filters rooted in classical Chinese design, and collect elegant costumes inspired by historic fashion.
At the center of the island’s lore is a solemn ritual performed once a year, in which an honored artist paints open the eyes of the White Dragon, awakening its spirit to protect the realm. This season’s new boss, Inkshade: Painting Loong, guards the mysteries that lie within the island’s ink-drenched heart.
Three new outfits also arrive with this update:
Clouded Loong (5-star outfit) - Summon a white dragon and soar through the skies alongside friends. Inspired by the Soaring Loong-an ancient Chinese symbol of grace, wisdom, and good fortune-this design embodies the noble elegance of a guardian between heaven and earth.
Forever Bond (5-star outfit) - Unleash a venomous talisman that triggers poison mist and leaves behind a haunting makeup effect, even in photo mode. This outfit draws from legends of the spirit cat, a mystical shapeshifter said to guide and protect travelers from the spirit realm.
Danqing Craft (Ability outfit) - Grants Nikki the power to restore objects turned to ink back to their original form, transforming her surroundings through inspiration and artistry.
