Aniimo Set to Launch in Q3 2026

Publisher Kingsglory and developer Pawprint Studio have officially announced that Aniimo, a free-to-play open-world creature catching action RPG, will launch in Q3 2026.
The title is slated for a broad release across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store, as well as mobile platforms including iOS and Android.
Ahead of the full launch, a global closed beta test is scheduled to take place during the summer of 2026 for PC, iOS, and Android users.
Interested players can currently sign up for the beta through the game’s official website to get an early look at the world of Idyll.
The upcoming beta will allow Pathfinders to explore an expansive open world and utilize the unique twining mechanic to battle and move through the environment.
New creatures being introduced in this phase include Bubbeep, Popapus, Mophling, and Sausite, along with new forms such as Budsquire and Thornblade.
Participants will also have access to the Astra region to purchase accessories at new stores and can interact with decorative buildings like clothing stores and blind box shops.
The home-building system located in the player’s RV moving base, known as the Homeland, has been expanded with more customization options and themed decorations.
A water-themed region called the Island of Peace will be accessible for the first time during the testing period.
Competitive players can engage in the Diamond Egg Heist, a player-versus-player mode where teams of three compete to secure and escort a diamond egg.
Cooperative gameplay features will include challenging boss encounters against Bubbask and Coraliz, as well as the ability for Pathfinders to exchange Aniimo with one another.
This announcement was shared on June 6, 2026, alongside a new trailer showcasing the game’s mechanics and visual style.
