Aniimo Regional Release Times and Preload Details Announced
PC Gamer has outlined the global regional launch schedules and preload availability for the upcoming free-to-play monster-catching game Aniimo.

The upcoming open world monster-catching game Aniimo is almost ready for launch, bringing players into the world of Idyll to recruit various creatures. The free-to-play title features monetization structures distinct from gacha games while offering a creature collection experience, though it contains fewer guns and survival crafting elements compared to games like Palworld.
Regional launch dates fall across September 15 and September 16 depending on the player timezone. United States players experience the launch on September 15, with West Coast US at 7 pm PST and East Coast US at 10 pm EST. Players located in the UK and Europe experience the release on September 16, with the UK set for 3 am BST, Europe at 4 pm CEST, Australia at 12 pm AEST, and New Zealand at 3 pm NZST.
Preload options opened on September 14 at 10 am (UTC+8). Players can download the Aniimo launcher directly from the official website to complete the preload process. The game requires approximately 40 GB of storage space, while the actual download size is around 28 GB. Players looking to check system requirements can review the specifications listed on the Steam page.
