Pre-Order State for Aniimo
Aniimo uses a free-to-play model with optional in-app purchases, so no paid pre-order tier exists. Players can pre-register on the official site, Steam, or Epic Games Store to claim the reward ladder, which includes a Smoky Stone-themed Aniipod, additional cosmetics, and currency bundles that unlock with milestones. Three launch-day items (Sparkling Cube, Aniipod Ultra, Tumbler) are granted to all players free. For the full reward ladder, monetization model, and paid-edition status, see the [Aniimo pre-order and editions](/pre-order-and-editions) page.

Regional Notes on Launch Timing
Steam's 15 September 2026 refers to the platform default unlock, typically aligning with North American time. Game Trader and GameHaunt report 16 September 2026 for the APAC storefront unlock, so APAC players should plan for 16 September 2026 locally while Americas and Europe players plan for 15 September 2026.
