Aniimo is entering its open beta phase very soon, and you can already register by visiting the official website.
The free-to-play, creature-catching action RPG lets players capture creatures called Aniimo. Does that sound a lot like Pokémon? Yes, it does. In fact, the developer doesn’t shy away from the comparison at all; one of the questions when registering for the beta is literally: “Which Pokémon games have you played?”
The game takes place on the vast continent of Idyll, which is filled with Aniimo that boast unique abilities and looks. You can catch them using Aniipods, and as expected, you’ll have to properly time your catch. A nice addition is that Aniimo appear based on the environment, weather, special phenomena, and the time of day. Most Aniimo can evolve, not only to toughen them up for battles but also to help you navigate the world and solve various environmental puzzles.
You can also travel to a metropolis floating in the sky, where you'll meet other Pathfinders, share stories, and engage in thrilling competitive battles. Best of all: anyone you meet can become a companion.
Aniimo is coming to PS5, Xbox One Series X|S, PC and mobile in 2026.
