Aniimo already launched on PC and consoles on September 16, and mobile players are next. Pawprint Studio confirmed the Android and iOS release for September 23, 2026, exactly one week after the PC and console debut. Pre-registration is live right now on both storefronts, so there's no reason to wait if you want day-one access to the creature-collecting open-world ARPG.
When does Aniimo release on mobile?
The mobile version of Aniimo arrives on September 23, 2026, available simultaneously on Android (Google Play Store) and iOS (App Store). The game is free-to-play, so the download itself costs nothing. Budget around 3.7 GB of storage space before you start the download to avoid any mid-install interruptions.

Android requirements
What gameplay carries over to mobile?
Mobile players get the full Aniimo experience, not a stripped-down port. The core of the game is built around Idyll, a continent spanning biomes from dense forests to volcanic peaks and floating sky cities. Creatures in this world behave dynamically: some only appear during rain, others emerge at night, and certain species only inhabit deep-sea or subterranean zones.
The signature mechanic is Twine Mode, where you merge directly with your collected Aniimo and control them in real time, using their specific movement abilities and combat combos. This isn't just a visual trick. Scaling a cliff requires Twining with a creature built for climbing; crossing water or solving aerial puzzles means shifting into a flying form. The alternative is Command Mode, where you direct your Aniimo tactically from the perspective of your human Pathfinder character.
Capturing new creatures involves Aniipods, but the process demands observation: study behaviors, set traps, and time your throw. Once captured, most Aniimo support multi-branch evolution, letting you shape your team around your preferred playstyle rather than following a single upgrade path.

Is cross-platform play supported?
Yes. Aniimo supports full cross-platform synchronization across PC, Xbox, and mobile. Your save file, collected Aniimo, and personal RV Homeland decorations transfer between every version of the game. This makes mobile an excellent companion platform for players who started on PC or console during the September 16 launch.
The game also includes multiplayer content that works across platforms, including the Egg Heist mode (a 3-player PvEvP challenge in the Lost Isles) and world boss fights in the game's urban hub areas.
What launch events are running when mobile releases?
The mobile launch on September 23 falls within the broader launch event window that runs through October 28. That window includes rotating event types, Vein Abundance periods, and Eggceleration weekends. For the full calendar with specific dates, the Aniimo event roadmap has every event listed from September 16 through late October.
Mobile players jumping in on September 23 will have roughly five weeks of launch events available, which is a solid window for catching up on rewards and limited content before the schedule resets.
