Aniimo Emerges as a Stunning Pokémon Rival with PC & Xbox Release Planned
Nintendo might have a new challenger on its hands as Aniimo, a new free-to-play monster-collecting game, prepares for its launch on PC and Xbox.
The game has already garnered significant attention, particularly from NVIDIA, which has featured it in demonstrations for its RTX graphics cards. A recent trailer showcased Aniimo running on an RTX 5070 in stunning 4K resolution with maxed-out settings, utilizing DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Gen. Impressively, even without upscaling, the game maintained a stable frame rate of approximately 75 FPS.
Recent beta tests have generated considerable excitement among fans of Pokémon and similar creature-collection titles. Players have highly praised the game's polished gameplay, with some even boldly claiming that Aniimo is poised to 'dismantle' Pokémon. While anticipation builds, the official release date remains undisclosed.
