Aniimo previously held its Global Closed Beta, known as the "Pawprint Test," in July 2026. The test gave players an early look at the game's creature-catching, exploration, combat, and social systems before officially concluding on July 25.

Since then, Pawprint Studio has continued polishing the game and making adjustments based on player feedback ahead of the global launch.

Pre-registration is still available through the official Aniimo website, so players can sign up before the game officially goes live.
