Pawprint Studio has officially launched the mobile version of its self-developed cross-platform open-world monster-taming RPG, 'Aniimo', globally on August 23. With this release, Aniimo expands its service across major platforms, including iOS and Android mobile devices, PC versions via the official website, Steam, and Epic Games Store, as well as PS5 and Xbox console versions. The game supports cross-platform data syncing and cross-play, allowing players to jump between multiple devices without being tied down to just one.

The game hinges on a core gameplay mechanic where players and Aniimo become one. Players can directly harness the unique abilities of Aniimo via twine, and explore the world from the perspective of Aniimo to uncover hidden regions, sub-stories, and species-specific tales. The monster-taming system unfolds in real time to match open-world conditions—such as sneaking up behind Aniimo or luring them with food—allowing players to capture desired Aniimo even without engaging in combat. Alongside this, the ecological nurturing system boosts field exploration rates to trigger mass outbreaks where multiple Aniimo appear in specific areas, and lets players encounter rare individuals known as Cheonhwi Aniimo alongside new obsidian-form Aniimo.

Over 200 species of Aniimo feature diverse material expressions tailored to each individual's traits, such as fur, metal, and liquid, adding visual joy to the collection experience. In addition, by implementing an ecosystem of the Adel continent where creatures move according to their own behavioral patterns through changing weather, day-and-night cycles, and field puzzles, players can enjoy varied exploration and interaction within a shifting environment. For multiplayer content, a PvPvE mode called Egg Conquest is available, blending simultaneous competition and cooperation, alongside social contents like camper van camps and housing where players can interact with others. During the first month of release, special events boosting the appearance rate of Cheonhwi Aniimo and launch celebration benefits allowing players to select a desired Cheonhwi Aniimo will be provided.

As an offline activity to broaden touchpoints with South Korean players, a collaboration with No Brand Burger will kick off on October 2. Pawprint Studio outlined its long-term update plans alongside the full-platform service rollout. Aniimo will structure each season into 84 days, split into a 42-day first half and second half, to continuously introduce fresh content. Upcoming updates will introduce a water-themed new region, alongside five islands and uncharted areas. The developer plans to steadily expand the collection scope of the current 200+ Aniimo by consistently adding new Aniimo, various Sparkle Aniimo types, and diverse cosmetic contents.

Localization efforts tailored for South Korean players will also be continuously reinforced. The main story features full Korean voice acting, and the overall quality of Korean localization, including translation and audio, will continue to be refined going forward. The development team at Pawprint Studio stated, "Following PC and consoles, we are thrilled to bring Aniimo to mobile, allowing more players to share in the adventure across the Adel continent," adding, "We will continue to steadily add new Aniimo, regions, and diverse content while listening closely to the feedback from South Korean players to deliver an even more polished play experience."
