Overview
- Pawprint Studio and publisher Kingsglory confirmed Aniimo will launch in Q3 2026 as a free‑to‑play open‑world creature‑collecting action RPG across PC (Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and iOS and Android.
- Sign-ups are open now for a global closed beta this summer that will run on PC and mobile and is intended to test cross‑platform systems before launch.
- The update revealed several new Aniimo and forms, including Bubbeep, Popapus, Mophling, Sausite, Budsquire and Thornblade, which expand evolution and 'twining' options that let players merge with creatures to gain their skills.
- New content includes a water‑themed Island of Peace region, boss encounters (Bubbask and Coraliz), a PvP mode called Diamond Egg Heist where teams race to twine with an egg, Aniimo exchange between players, and expanded in‑game stores and accessory options.
- Aniimo joins a recent wave of Pokemon‑style open‑world creature games and its free‑to‑play, cross‑platform design and seasonal creature events aim to drive long‑term player engagement and recurring purchases.
