Pawprint Studio's free-to-play open-world ARPG Aniimo enters closed beta in early July for PC and mobile ahead of a full 2026 release on PS5, Xbox, PC, and mobile. A hands-on preview details the link system, which lets players transform into captured creatures to fly, swim, and solve puzzles.
Pawprint Interactive Entertainment announced on June 7 that it will hold the first closed beta test for Japan of its free-to-play open-world monster-collecting RPG Aniimo in early July. Recruitment for participants began the same day. The test is open to residents of Japan and will run on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android. The game, showcased at the Future Games Show: Summer Showcase 2026, is set in the vast open world Idyll (also called Adel in some materials) where players collect creatures called Animo. A key mechanic is the Chain or Link system, which lets players transform into Animo they have befriended. The beta will include exploration, real-time battles, puzzles, and multiplayer elements. Data from the test will be deleted, and no in-game purchases will be available. A new trailer was also released alongside the announcement. The full game is planned for release within 2026 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Epic Games Store, iOS, and Android with cross-play support.
