One featured locale is a whimsical land created by the Shroomlings, notable for its snail‑shell houses. The region leans into playful traversal – movement itself becomes an activity – encouraging players to interact with terrain and structures in new, creative ways.

Developer perspective

Infold Games frames the update as an evolution of player expression in Itzaland. As the team puts it, the goal is to extend creative freedom and give players more agency over the world itself.

“Infinity Nikki has always been about giving players the freedom to express themselves,” said Douhu, Lead Gameplay Systems Design (Outfits) at Infold Games. “With Version 2.0, we wanted to take that freedom even further. This update is not just about exploring Itzaland, but about shaping it. It represents everything we’ve learned over the past year, and everything we still want to build together with our players.”
