Stardew Valley is partnering with Infinity Nikki for a rare crossover collaboration. Infinity Nikki's live-service structure and emphasis on customization and coziness make it a compatible partner for the laidback farming sim. A trailer shows Jumino spirits working on a farm, staring at a glowing orb, and one Jumino being pulled through a portal to Miraland. The crossover arrives on September 1 as part of Infinity Nikki's Version 1.9 Music Season update. That update adds home-building and gardening features that resemble Stardew Valley mechanics, while the teaser does not reveal specific Stardew items or content.
Few indie games have ever taken off quite like Stardew Valley. Nearly ten years since its release, it's still one of the best and most popular farming sims around. In that time, collaborations between games have gotten more common, but Stardew Valley has rarely taken part. Now, as it's only done a few times in its history, the farming sim is joining forces with another game, and the title that's getting the honor is a surprising one.
Live-service games are usually the most likely to go after collaborations, since they need a steady stream of new experiences to keep players hooked. But most of those games lean more toward action than the laidback Stardew Valley, and mixing the chill game with something like Fortnite wouldn't make a lot of sense. But Infinity Nikki, with its focus on customization and coziness, could be the perfect ongoing game to share space with Stardew Valley.
The collaboration was announced with a trailer that leaves pretty much everything to the imagination. It starts with Stardew Valley's Jumino spirits working on a farm, before taking a break to stare at a mysterious glowing orb, as we all do on lunch break. One of the Juminos is then sucked through a portal to Miraland, the setting of Infinity Nikki.
Neither game's developer has said what form the collaboration will take, but we do have a pretty good hint in its release date. The Stardew Valley collaboration begins on September 1, with the launch of Infinity Nikki's Version 1.9 Music Season update. Among other things, the update adds the ability to build and customize your own home, complete with a garden to grow plants outside.
