The game

Is Aniimo free?

Yes. Aniimo is free with in-app purchases on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, iOS and Android. Nothing has to be bought to play.

Is Aniimo a gacha game?

Not for creatures. According to the producer, Aniimo are not obtained through random pulls: you catch them in the world. The studio does publish official rates, notably for Prismana variants, with a pity counter.

Who develops Aniimo?

Pawprint Studio (Pawprint Interactive Entertainment Pte. Ltd.), a studio connected to FunPlus. The publisher varies by source: Steam lists Pawprint, while parts of the press cite Kingsglory or FunPlus.

What languages does Aniimo support?

The Steam page lists 13, including English, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese.

Release and platforms

When does Aniimo release?

16 September 2026 at 02:00 UTC on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series. iOS and Android follow on 23 September 2026.

Which PC stores?

Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store and the official launcher.

Is the game cross-platform?

Cross-platform multiplayer is announced on the Steam page. Shared progression between PC, console and mobile has not been confirmed in writing yet: we will update this page as soon as it is.

What do I need to run it on PC?

At minimum Windows 10 64-bit, a Core i7-4770 or Ryzen 7 2700, 8 GB of RAM, a GTX 970 or RX 5600, and 40 GB of disk space.

The content

How many Aniimo are there?

86 Aniimo are listed in the official index at launch, across three evolution stages (Lumin, Gamma, Nova) and nine elements.

Are there Aniimo codes?

Yes: Aniimo2026 (20 Glimmers). You enter a code in the game settings, under Account. The up-to-date list is on our Codes page, where every code is tested in game.

Is there Aniimo breeding?

No breeding between two Aniimo. Eggs are very real though: you hatch them in the Outpost and Home Hatchinators, and some guarantee a rare form.

What is Twine?

It is the ability to transform into an Aniimo you have caught, to move around, solve puzzles or fight. Each species grants a different movement ability.

What is the Homeland?

It is your mobile base, a camper van that travels with you. Your Aniimo hold jobs there and produce resources, including while you are offline.

Launch-week questions

What is the difference between Prismana, Sparkling and Umbral?

Three independent things. Prismana is an Aniimo form, like regional or weather forms. Sparkling is a mutation layered over any form, with twelve types, two of them hidden. Umbrabow is a separate category, whose members are called Umbral. All three can stack.

Does the Sparkling Cube guarantee Perfect potential?

Yes. Its in-game effect states that catching is guaranteed, potential is Perfect, and the Aniimo will always be Sparkling. The Aniipod Ultra guarantees the catch and at least Elite potential.

How do I find a specific Aniimo?

On the map, press Aniimo Distribution in the lower-left corner, or zoom all the way out: you get each region's collection progress and weather. If the entry is greyed out, the area is not unlocked yet. Otherwise it is nearly always a question of time of day or weather.

My evolution will not trigger, why?

There is nearly always one requirement still open. The game mixes eight families, including exact-location, personality and passive-talent requirements, which do not look like something an evolution would ask for.

The game asks for level 25 but nothing happens.

That is a French translation error. On the second resonance star, the French text reads "Atteignez le niveau 25" while the English string and the game data both require level 35.

Which Aniimo is strongest for each element?

The game sets no power ranking: it gives each species a role (DPS, Break, Support, Heal, Regen). Some roles do not exist for some elements — healing, for instance, only exists in Water and Wind.

Why does my Aniimo barely scratch an enemy three levels above?

Because the game applies a level-gap correction, and it only works one way: being above the target's level grants no bonus, being below costs more and more, and the penalty steepens sharply from about five levels down.
