Infinity Nikki Version 2.6, titled Until Tide Ends, launched on May 28, 2026, following a maintenance window that ran from 12:50 to 20:00 UTC-7. The update closes out the Soul Tide storyline with new chapters, a brand-new dungeon, a 5-star Resonance banner, and more quality-of-life improvements than any single patch in recent memory. If you've been saving Resonite Crystals and Diamonds, now is the time to spend them wisely.
What's new in the Version 2.6 story?
The main draw for returning players is the permanent exclusive quest The Unceasing Ocarina, which unlocks after completing Chapter 9 of the Itzaland main storyline. The quest ties directly into the Soul Tide's conclusion and the Tide Sending Ceremony. Completing it rewards the bracelet Connected Remembrance, the chest accessory sketch Flower of the Past, Diamonds, and growth materials. Clear every stage within the quest to also grab the earring sketch Crimson First Wish.
Finish the entire exclusive quest before the version ends to earn the limited card Memory Boat plus additional Diamonds. That card won't come back, so treat the quest as a timed priority.
On the world quest side, the Resurgent Tides series adds permanent world quests under "Soul Tide Chronicles" and rotating random quests in "Interesting Encounters." Working through these nets you the headwear Time-Woven Threads alongside Diamonds and growth materials.

What is the Realm of the Past dungeon?
Version 2.6 adds a new dungeon called Realm of the Past to the Boneyard map. The setting is a garden filled with crimson blossoms where sealed memories start to surface. Beyond its story context, the dungeon feeds directly into the Crimson Bloom of the Heart limited-time event, which runs until June 23 at 12:49 UTC-7.
That event is split into five activities inside the dungeon: Crimson Recollection, Compass' Guide, Starlit Courtyard, Flowerbed Treasury, and Crimson Memories. Each one pays out Resonite Crystals, Diamonds, and Upgrade Packs. You need to progress the exclusive quest The Unceasing Ocarina before the event unlocks, so don't skip the story.
The Boneyard itself also grows with two new caverns: Healing Ground North Cavern and Shore Cavern. Both contain Whimstars and Dews of Inspiration to collect.
Furniture from the Realm of the Past dungeon is catalogued in Itzaland Volume 3 of the Decor Catalog. After your first clear, re-enter the dungeon and take a photo to unlock those furniture sketches.
The Boneyard was introduced in Version 2.5 as a dragon graveyard and spiritual hub tied to the Itzaland arc. If you haven't explored it yet, the Infinity Nikki 2.5 Where All Souls Return update rundown covers the region, the Soul Ocarina mechanic, and the new Ability Outfits in detail.
Lingering Aftersong: Should you pull for Soundless Dawn?
The headline Resonance banner for 2.6 is Lingering Aftersong, running until June 23 at 12:49 UTC-7. It features the new 5-star outfit Soundless Dawn and the 4-star outfit Steps Against Order.
Completing Soundless Dawn unlocks the Tranquil Resonance ability. After activation, Nikki summons up to four Tranquil Strings in the open world. These musical anchors draw nearby animals close, dropping their guard so you can approach and groom them. The Tranquil Strings persist even when you're offline, show up on the map as trackable icons, and can be retrieved on demand. The ability doesn't work in Home or indoor stages.
The outfit also has meaningful evolution rewards:
- Stage 2 unlocks the Joyful Dance Invitation for Framed Moment and the Decoration: Radiance feature, which lets you place Radiant Chorus Court: Radiance in open spaces for photography.
- Stage 3 unlocks Tomorrow's Blossom: Makeup, enhanced special effects, a new idle animation, and alternative details on select pieces.
The 4-star outfit Steps Against Order unlocks Windborne Signal: Whimsicality, an ability where Nikki whistles to summon a raven that perches on her finger.
Resonance milestone rewards
The Radiant Chorus Court decoration at 160 pulls can be placed in open areas for photography. If you're a dedicated photo mode player, that milestone alone is worth tracking.
For players who want a framework before spending, the Infinity Nikki banner and gacha system guide breaks down pull odds, pity mechanics, and how to budget your Resonite Crystals across banners.

What rerun banners are available in 2.6?
Two rerun Resonance banners run alongside the main event, both ending June 10 at 18:59 UTC-7:
- Harvest Dream: Pull for the 4-star outfit Harvest's Blessing, which unlocks Fall Foliage: World Rhythms (turns Woolfruit Tree leaves red and triggers a falling leaf effect).
- Ribbon Reverie: Pull for the 4-star outfit Pink Ribbon Waltz, which adds faint fish scale textures to Nikki's skin when she contacts water.
Both are shorter windows than the main banner, so prioritize them if you missed the original runs.
All limited-time events in Version 2.6
The 2.6 update is packed with parallel events. Here's a consolidated breakdown:
The Souls Unveiled event deserves a callout: finding the Spirit Creature for the first time unlocks 16 special titles, but only for a limited time. That's the kind of cosmetic reward that disappears permanently if you miss the window.
The Candlelight Reverie event tasks you with completing 4 tasks at a time to earn Swaying Light currency, which you then exchange for rewards including the Gift of Renewal 3-star outfit.
What's new in the Store for Version 2.6?
The Tidal Treasures section in the Store has several new limited-time offers running until June 23:

Two new outfits arrive in Store > Clothing for a limited time: Clearsky Symphony and Sunlit Plush Bear. Rerun outfits Graceful Elegance, Midnight Vogue, and Star of the Gala also return until June 23.

What are the major gameplay and QoL improvements?
Clothing and ability changes
The Celestial Deer ability from the Chroma's Mortal Heart outfit received a meaningful usability fix: Nikki can now jump while outside the Wanxiang Realm. The chest marker display duration for that ability also extends from 1 minute to 3 minutes, giving you more time to navigate to flagged treasure chests.
A batch of previous 5-star pieces are now dyeable after being fully glowed up. The list includes Bouncing Fluff, Tiny Dots, Dreamy Afternoon, Old Illusions, Sunlit Stars, Intent Codex, Illuminating Life, Ripple Song, Cloudborne Dreams, Radiant Cheer, Butterfly Embroidery, Frosted Butterfly, Dawn's First Light, Modest Knotkerchief, Shiny Shiny, Stunning Aura, and Leisure Stroll. More pieces will join this list in future updates.
Players who evolved Born Flawless to Stage 2 can now claim previously missing rewards: the Framed Moment item Pondering Gaze, Selfless Mirror: Illusory Dance, and the dance move Mirror-Dancing Dustlight: Illusory Dance. Grab those from the Clothing Evolution interface.
Photo Mode and Home Construction
Photo Mode gets a quick outfit change feature via a new Wardrobe entry in Momo's Camera, so you no longer need to exit the camera to swap looks.
Home Construction sees the largest overhaul. Highlights include:
- Custom Schemes: 4 custom build setting slots, with your pre-update settings saved to Scheme 1 automatically.
- Favorites: Pin up to 20 furniture pieces, combinations, or sets to the top of their category for faster placement.
- Delete All: Force-delete all affected objects in the Placed List in one action.
- Batch Process: Combines the old Collections and Claim All features, with support for purchasing furniture using Dreamland Stones from current and previous store lineups.
- Hide Nikki in Floral Construction: Toggle Nikki's model off to prevent collision interference during detailed placement work.
- Snap Settings: Upgraded from a simple on/off toggle to adjustable snap strength, now supporting furniture snapping.
The Momo Fishing mechanic in the Boneyard also gets a guaranteed reward system: after 9 consecutive failed attempts at a rare reward, the 10th catch is guaranteed to be rare. After 3 consecutive rare rewards without an outfit sketch, the next rare reward is guaranteed to include one.
Mira Journey and Mira Crown updates
The new Mira Journey phase (Journey Overture) auto-unlocks at the version start and runs until June 23. Complete Journey Tasks to earn EXP, level up to 90, and collect Resonite Crystals and Energy Crystals. Purchasing Distant Anthem instantly grants 680 Diamonds plus an additional 680 Diamonds through leveling, along with Revelation Crystals and Momo's Cloak: Wish Whisper. The Miracle Epic tier unlocks all Distant Anthem rewards immediately plus a 10-level boost.
The Mira Crown Pinnacle Contest runs in two phases: Phase 1 from June 1 through June 16, and Phase 2 from June 16 through July 1. Both phases apply a 15% bonus to glowed-up pieces, so time your contest submissions to take advantage of that scoring boost.
