Latest update
Pawprint Studio ended Aniimo's Global Closed Beta on July 25, 2026 across its APAC, North American and European servers, then erased all test data.

Platforms and availability
Pawprint Studio lists PC through Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Android, iPhone and iPad for the global release campaign. The July beta covered PC, Steam, Android and iOS rather than the console builds.
Gameplay overview
Players explore Idyll, catch creatures with Aniipods, train and evolve their companions, and Twine with an Aniimo to use its abilities directly during traversal and action combat.
Steam's current description also introduces three-player Egg Heist PvEvP matches, multiplayer exploration and a mobile Home built around farming, construction and customization.
Story, setting, or main mode
The player is a Pathfinder travelling through Idyll and forming bonds with its Aniimo. Astra acts as a social stop between journeys, while regional ecosystems, creature encounters and unexplained landmarks frame the wider adventure.
Trailer, screenshots, and media
Xbox's official Aniimo trailer introduces the Pathfinder, Idyll and creature companionship. Pawprint Studio's official website feature images cover Twine, regional environments, creature varieties, capture and collection, and camping with friends.
Developer and publisher
Pawprint Studio develops and publishes Aniimo as a FunPlus publishing-label project. The studio operates the official site, testing program, pre-registration campaign and creator activities.
