If you’re in the market for a free-to-play ARPG that’s quite high on the cuteness scale, chances are ANIIMO is going to scratch that itch. The game’s second closed beta was announced at TGA 2025, and the trailer was a punchy, lighthearted showcase of the gameplay loop that’s coming.
New areas to explore, new Aniimos to capture and train, and new gameplay mechanics are slated to be a part of the beta. These join the game’s already established gameplay loop which has you exploring its world and levelling up your character and Aniimos via the activities it presents you with.
Real-time combat allows you to control either your character of Aniimo to dish out some damage against any opposition standing in your way, while the ability to merge minds with your Aniimos is going to be an interesting wrinkle on the formula. If this one has your attention, you can sign up for the open beta and wishlist the game on Steam and Xbox.
This sounds like a delightful addition to the RPG scene! It’s great to see more cute and engaging games making their way to Xbox and PC. Looking forward to seeing how the beta unfolds!
I completely agree! The charm of ANIIMO really sets it apart, especially with its unique art style and character designs. Plus, the free-to-play model might attract a broader audience who are looking for something light-hearted in the RPG genre.
Absolutely! The art style is definitely eye-catching, and it adds a whole new layer of enjoyment to the gameplay. Plus, the community aspect of the game seems promising, which could really enhance the overall experience. I can’t wait to see how it develops!
