The gacha scene is larger than before, thanks to games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail paving the path. While games where players collect new and unique characters are a dime a dozen, Infinity Nikki changed the formula by having players collect beautiful dresses for the titular character instead. With Infinity Nikki version 1.5 on the horizon, players have new banners, outfits, and features to look forward to. By the way, you can also check out our latest Infinity Nikki codes article.
Banners in the Infinity Nikki Bubble Season?
The Crimson Feather and Snowy Ballad outfits in Infinity Nikki.
Infinity Nikki version 1.5, nicknamed Bubble Season, is slated to include two 5-star outfits, Crimson Feather and Snowy Ballad. While the outfits were leaked ahead of their official announcement, that doesn’t stop fans from anticipating the visually beautiful clothes to add to their collection. Pair that with LootBar making it easier to get the Infinity Nikki 1.5 outfits, and these two banners may be the most popular in the game so far.
As usual, the banners won’t just include 5-star outfits. The banner with Crimson Feather also has the 4-star outfit Celestial Whispers, while the banner with Snowy Ballad also includes the 4-star outfit Rosy Reverie. The black and white theme is likely prevalent throughout the version.
It’s also important to note that the version also has the Sea of Stars outfit, which veteran Nikki players likely recognizes. First encountered in Love Nikki, the outfit is heavily tied to the series’ lore. It’s treated as the equivalent of the holy grail in the game since it represents Nikki’s memories and every loop she traveled through Miraland.
What is the Crimson Feather outfit in Infinity Nikki 1.5?

Breaking down the individual banners further, the first outfit is Crismon Feather. The beautifully black and crimson long dress goes down to the floor, while Nikki’s eyes are covered by what seems to be wings. The character also gets a halo on top of her head. Being part of the “Unfading Heart” banner, this outfit’s main attribute is “Cool,” and also has a unique ability called Winged Hover. The ability lets Nikki jump again while airborne to enter a gliding state. Stop moving to have Nikki indefinitely hover in the air without any limit, and start moving again to continue to glide like normal.
Below are all the evolutions of the Crimson Feather outfit in Infinity Nikki:
- Crimson Feather: Ember
- Crimson Feather: Blaze
- Crimson Feather: Rebirth
- Crimson Feather: Icy (full glow evolution)
What is the Snowy Ballad outfit in Infinity Nikki 1.5?

In contrast to the dark and mysterious vibes of the Celestial Whispers outfit, the Snowy Ballad outfit is a bold and gorgeous look for everyone’s favorite character. As the name suggests, the white and blue dress that goes down to the floor is as pretty as the snow, and the “Fresh” outfit’s ability, Water Walking, has the potential to produce equally pretty pictures. Through it, Nikki will get the ability to walk on water by temporarily freezing the water beneath her feet. Players can activate the ability again to manually melt the ice or use it alongside a friend in co-op mode to amplify its effect.

- Snowy Ballad: Farewell
- Snowy Ballad: Silken (full glow evolution)
What are the new areas in Infinity Nikki 1.5?
The Sea of Stars in Infinity Nikki.
While most fans assumed the new version would only add one new area, Infinity Nikki 1.5 is instead adding two. The first is the Sea of Stars, which the version primarily revolves around. The Sea of Stars has multiple co-op features since it’s the in-game world where every timeline and alternate reality collide. The realm beyond time and space will also have unique modes of transportation, including The Silvermoon Boat and The Starlit Wings. Those already invested in Infinity Nikki’s lore will love this area.
Then, there’s Serenity Island, which is part of the Bubble Season event storyline. Here, players can fly on the Bubbleboat, participate in multiple minigames, and fight against a mechanical head creature, which seems like the primary boss of the area.
What other features are included in Infinity Nikki 1.5?
While the banners are excellent, they aren’t the only reason Infinity Nikki 1.5 is slated to be one of the biggest updates in the game. The new season also brought other excellent features with it.
Online co-op
Arguably, the biggest feature fans were asking for was the inclusion of proper cooperative play, and that’s exactly what Infinity Nikki 1.5 added. Through co-op, players can join their friends’ worlds or invite their friends to their worlds. Like similar gacha games, things like dailies will be tied to the host’s world, though friends can complete them together to make the otherwise tedious task more enjoyable.
A cool feature is that players can collect Whimstars and Starlights. While Whimstars are usually tied to the host’s world, they’ll be counted as collected in both worlds if the players are holding hands while collecting them. Additionally, the players will share rewards for things like Blings, Mats, fishing, bug-catching, and Insight. Hand-holding isn’t a necessity for this. Finally, players can also enjoy group photos and new items to interact with.
Playing with friends isn’t the only way to enjoy this feature. The Sea of Stars, which is a marriage of multiple worlds, lets players meet other random Infinity Nikki players, with the chat option included. Players can only meet other strangers in the Dream Star Isles section of the Sea of Stars. To make things more enjoyable, players can expect fun and light-hearted challenges.
DIY Workshop
The DIY Workshop in Infinity Nikki.
The DIY Workshop is another feature fans have been asking for. As the name suggests, the new feature lets players dye select outfits and experiment with things like color palettes and patterns to create something unique and completely original. In a game where everyone essentially had the same outfits, this feature is sure to change things up and prioritize individuality.
The Infinity Nikki 1.5 trailer also revealed players can unbind abilities from outfits to customize ability styles. This likely means players can mix-and-match the abilities of owned outfits to ensure they don’t have to switch every time they want to use a specific ability style. However, unlocking new patterns and pallets won’t be free, so it might be a good idea to top up on Infinity Nikki Stellarites sooner rather than later.
Indirectly related to the DIY Workshop are the new color variants for 4 and 5-star outfits. These color variants are obtainable by glowing up specific pieces, ensuring players don’t necessarily have to glow up an outfit completely. This change promises to ensure that players can play around more with their favorite outfits without having to grind every time.
Conclusion
While many features Infinity Nikki version 1.5 added should likely have been included with the game’s launch, it’s still nice that fans can benefit from them now. By the way, Infinity Nikki is live on Steam now. It seems that some players are not satisfied with Infold Games's operation. Anyway, as it usually is with gacha games, most things likely won’t be free, though LootBar is already here to help with that. With Infinity Nikki easily being one of the most popular game in the series, fans can’t wait to see how far it goes with upcoming updates.
