The free-to-play, creature-catching open-world RPG recently concluded its biggest beta test yet, introducing new players to the Aniimo and their vibrant world of Idyll while collecting invaluable feedback to be implemented on the road to launch later this year. Aspiring Pathfinders who missed out on the second closed beta can look forward to future opportunities to test the game; stay tuned for more details!

For those who just can’t wait for future betas, Aniimo will also be playable later this week at PAX East in Boston. Interested attendees can head to the Aniimo Booth #16055 to check out a demo of the latest build which introduces Hoptail, an energetic new Aniimo that stores electrical energy in its tail and can trigger explosive leaps upon release. Players who stop by can get lost in the expansive open-world of Idyll, twine with Aniimo to discover their unique skills, and explore other features such as the RV and Homeland.
