Aniimo

Aniimo is a free-to-play, next-gen creature-catching open-world RPG developed by Pawprint Studio and published by Kingsglory, a label of FunPlus. Set on the vast continent of Idyll, it casts players as Pathfinders who catch the creatures known as Aniimo with Aniipods—timing each throw and setting traps—and then Twine with them, effectively becoming any Aniimo they have collected in order to borrow its abilities for puzzles, battles and traversal.

Aniimo appear according to the environment, weather, phenomena and time of day, and most of them can evolve, keeping collection and discovery at the center of the journey. Exploration is unrestricted, from gliding and diving to burrowing, and the world extends to a sky-floating metropolis where Pathfinders meet, compete and team up through cross-platform multiplayer and co-op. After several beta tests, Aniimo launched on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series on September 16, 2026—reaching more than 127,000 players on Steam on day one, alongside mixed user reviews—and arrived on iOS and Android on September 23, 2026.
