Cross-platform open-world creature-catching RPG 'Aniimo', developed by Pawprint Studio, unveiled its latest launch schedule at Gamescom 2026. The PC and console versions are scheduled to officially release on September 16, followed by the mobile version on September 23.

Through various tests and its showcase at Gamescom, 'Aniimo' has sequentially revealed key content including seamless open-world exploration, creature catching, real-time combat, multiplayer, and housing. With the official launch date announcement, the game has entered full preparation for release, inviting players into a world of adventure where they can explore, connect, and become one with a diverse array of Aniimo.

Players will explore the fantasy continent of Idyll, encountering Aniimo with various forms and personalities. Even for the same species of Aniimo, their colors and appearances vary based on terrain and personality, and players can unlock different evolution paths and raise them according to their training methods. This allows players to experience the joy of discovering and collecting different types of Aniimo, as well as the excitement of watching them change and evolve through personalized training.

Through 'Aniimo's' core system, 'Twine', players can become an Aniimo themselves and explore the open world from the creature's perspective using traversal skills such as flying, swimming, and moving underground. Players can explore a vibrant, atmospheric open world, seamlessly blending into herds of Aniimo and bonding with them, while meeting numerous Aniimo firsthand during the open beta test.

In addition to solo open-world exploration, the game offers multiplayer content. While exploring the vast world, players can randomly encounter other adventurers and participate in various game modes that require strategic thinking and competitive combat.

Beyond open-world exploration, players can enjoy camping life using an RV camping car. At their personal camp, players can cultivate crops, assign various tasks to Aniimo, and customize their own farm and living space. They can also interact and cooperate with other adventurers to build camps together, experiencing a rich variety of life simulation features alongside Aniimo.

Pre-release promotions for console players are also underway. The PlayStation and Xbox versions will officially release on September 16 alongside the PC version, and pre-orders on both platforms currently offer limited benefits and exclusive skins. Additionally, a web event called 'Aniimoa!' is taking place on the official website, where players can collect and exchange Aniimo with other adventurers to earn limited profile background rewards.

The development team at Pawprint Studio stated, "We are thrilled to announce our official launch schedule and draw closer to welcoming adventurers from around the world to the continent of Idyll. We hope players personally experience this special adventure, utilizing features like Twine to explore, connect, and become one with Aniimo."

'Aniimo' has currently surpassed 28 million global pre-registrations. Participating in pre-registration on the official website grants various rewards based on milestones, and players can also obtain a specific 'Radiant Aniimo' for free during the OBT period. In South Korea, pre-registration is also ongoing via the Kakao channel.

Meanwhile, 'Aniimo' is set to launch on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on September 16, with the mobile version following on September 23. Detailed information regarding the game, pre-registration, and release can be found on the official website and official community channels.
