At the just-concluded 2025 Tokyo Game Show, the open world urban RPG "Infinite" jointly with NetEase won the "Future Department Award", which is specially awarded to the new work that players are most looking forward to.This game has attracted widespread attention since the gameplay trailer was released, and players who have tried the TGS demo version have also generally given positive comments.

The most surprising thing is that this free game with visual effects comparable to card drawing masterpieces such as "Mingchao", but it was announced that it would not use the character card drawing mechanism.Game producer Ash explained this innovative decision in an interview: "We use 'experience character life' as the core gameplay. In the real world you can only experience one life, and in Infinity you can experience the lives of all characters. We hope that players can choose characters freely and enjoy a diverse life experience, so they decided to acquire characters through non-card draws."

It is reported that the game will show the unique positioning and life trajectory of each character in the city through the plot chapter.Even if you leave the "main plot", players can freely explore the city, feel the city's prosperity at their own pace, and switch different perspectives of characters at any time.The development team believes that the card drawing system will conflict with the free experience concept it advocates.

The reporter asked: So does not set up a role to draw a card mean that other content will be paid?The producer made it clear: "The basic gameplay of "Infinity" will be kept free", and the current profit plan only includes character skins and special limited-time content."In addition to the appearance of the character, custom elements such as house renovation and vehicles can be purchased through in-game currency. However, special content such as limited-time event clothing will be used as paid items."

This TGS trial version only opens three characters, Captain, Tafe and Rich, but the producers confirm that they will continue to expand their character lineup in the future.The official said: "We are improving the character expansion mechanism and planning to add new characters based on existing professions in the city. The development team will actively collect player feedback, aiming to create a character image that can bring a fresh experience to players."
