The creature-collecting RPG Aniimo is set to launch on September 15 and 16, depending on your region. Developed by Pawprint Studios, the game invites players to explore the continent of Idyll and encounter a variety of creatures.
Aniimo's release is staggered across different timezones. In the United States, players on the West Coast can access the game starting at 7 p.m. PST on September 15, while those on the East Coast will be able to play from 10 p.m. EST on the same day.
For players in Europe and the UK, Aniimo will become available on September 16. The launch times are scheduled for 3 a.m. BST in the UK and 4 p.m. CEST in continental Europe. Players in Australia can expect to access the game at 12 p.m. AEST on September 16, with New Zealand following at 3 p.m. NZST.
Preloading for Aniimo is already underway, having unlocked on September 14 at 10 a.m. (UTC+8). Players can download the Aniimo launcher from the official website to begin the preload process. The game's download size is approximately 40GB, though the initial download via the launcher was reported to be around 28GB.
The game draws comparisons to Palworld for its open-world, monster-collecting mechanics, though it notably omits guns and extensive survival crafting elements. Aniimo is free-to-play, with its monetization strategy differing from gacha models. System requirements for the game can be found on its Steam page.
