Aniimo, the upcoming free-to-play title from Pawprint Studio, which is exclusive to Xbox at launch, showcased its furry-fueled cutesy weirdness in a new trailer at today’s Xbox Tokyo Games Show livestream.
Today’s trailer focused on the Aniimo themselves, including the first looks at the following:
- Stellarys – An evolution of Celestis that can only occur on rainy days, Stellarys uses water to defend and attack and travels alone across Idyll, in stark contrast to Celestis. Because a Celestis that is already owned by a Pathfinder will no longer evolve into Stellarys when in rainy weather, players who want to add a Stellarys to their roster must find and capture one in the wild.
- Helgon and Helmut – Helgons can exploit Helmuts’ weaknesses in the wild, provoking them to evolve in one of two ways. Most often, Helmut will evolve into Rookguard, which gives them the ability to transform into a metal sphere, thus protecting themselves from Helgon. However, in some rare cases, the bravest Helmuts may instead evolve into Pawney, allowing them to challenge Infregon, the Helgon’s family boss.
Aniimo has pre-registration available now for their upcoming beta tests as the game prepares to launch in 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and mobile. You can sign up at the game’s website. Are you interested in this “open world creature catching action RPG”? Let us know in the comment section below.
