The Aniimo release time is almost here, unveiling the world of Idyll and its many creatures for you to catch. This game certainly seems to be trying to tap into that Palworld vein of an open world filled with recruitable monsters, though admittedly with fewer guns and survival crafting elements. Aniimo is also free-to-play, though apparently not a gacha game, so expect some slightly different monetisation. All that said, here's when you can play Aniimo.

Aniimo release times for each region

The Aniimo release date is September 15 or 16 depending on your timezone. For folks in the US, it'll be the former, while for those in Europe and the UK, it'll be the latter.

Yes, the Aniimo preload unlocks on September 14 at 10 am (UTC+8), which means it's already available. You can download the Aniimo launcher from the official website and then preload the game itself—the size is about 40gb, though the actual download was only 28 for me.
