ANIIMO
Developer Pawprint Studio Publisher Kingsglory Games Format Android, iOS, PC, Xbox Series Release 2026
With one eye on Pokémon and another on PalWorld, Aniimo is described as a “free-to-play next-gen creature-catching open-world ARPG”. As that suggests, this is the more corporate kind of fantasy, and Aniimo’s very lushness invokes a sense of professional market research as much as whimsy and imagination. Creatures scale from crabs and clamshells all the way up to what appear to be giant vegetable bosses that erupt from the ground. Each critter captured unlocks new abilities and often a new way of moving through the landscape, and there’s certainly a sense of playfulness and life to the game’s varied designs.
