Aniimo Sets September 16 Launch, PlayStation Pre-Orders Open

Kingsglory will fund the free-to-play release through optional cosmetic pre-order packs that include a PlayStation-exclusive accessory to drive early adoption.

Overview

  • Publisher Kingsglory and developer Pawprint Studio announced Thursday that Aniimo will launch on September 16, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store), iOS and Android.
  • PlayStation Store pre-orders are live for two paid editions, the Advanced Edition ($9.99) and the Collector’s Edition ($19.99), both of which include a PlayStation-only 'Fluffy Friend' accessory and various cosmetic items.
  • The base game will be free-to-play while paid editions deliver cosmetics, battle pass-style companion handbooks, evolution materials, and avatar items rather than gameplay-locked content.
  • Aniimo’s core design centers on the 'Twine' mechanic that lets players become captured creatures to solve puzzles and fight, and it features a 3-player PvPvE mode called 'Egg Heist' for real-time searches and battles in the Lost Isles.
  • A simultaneous console, PC and mobile launch signals a push for broad player reach in a crowded September release window and could accelerate user acquisition while competing with major paid releases.
