Aniimo global CBT brings creature-catching, PvP and co-op boss battles this summer

Aniimo is building momentum before launch with a global closed beta planned for this summer on mobile and PC. Pawprint Studio’s creature-catching open-world RPG is scheduled for a Q3 2026 release across mobile, PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The CBT will introduce the water-themed Island of Peace, new Aniimo creatures, PvP, co-op boss battles, Aniimo trading and expanded Homeland customization.

The game’s biggest differentiator is the twining system, where players bond with creatures not only for combat but also for travel, exploration and experiencing the world from their perspective. That gives Aniimo a more personal angle than a standard monster collector. The mobile challenge will be scale: an open-world creature RPG needs good performance, clean controls and a world that feels alive without overwhelming phone players. The CBT should show whether that balance is working.
