How to Access the Aniimo Beta

Here is the honest state of play: the beta era is over. Aniimo launches on 16 September 2026 on PC and consoles and 23 September on mobile, so there is no early-access route left to chase. The last test, the Global Closed Beta, ran from 9 to 25 July 2026 and closed with a full data wipe; recruitment for it ran 7 June to 5 July 2026 through the official Aniimo site, which was always the only legitimate sign-up channel. FunPlus ran three closed tests in total and none of them carried progress to launch. This page stays up as the sourced record of how access actually worked, so you can recognise a fake key or a fake test the moment one appears.

Everything here is sourced from official communications only. Where FunPlus has not stated something, you will see it flagged as reported / not officially confirmed, never guessed.

The short version

• The last beta has ended (start here) : the Global Closed Beta ran from July 9 to July 25, 2026 (pre-download July 8) and closed with a full data wipe; its sign-up window had closed on July 5, 2026. The June 7, 2026 announcement opened sign-ups through the official site, which was the only legitimate way in. For its dates, platforms and previewed features, see the Global CBT page. The launch roster itself is official: more than 200 Aniimo (FunPlus gamescom announcement).
• How invites actually work : FunPlus has not disclosed how Aniimo beta invitations are distributed, so nothing about access is guaranteed. Registering during the sign-up window may have helped, but it was never confirmed to grant access. Treat that as reported, not fact.
• What a beta is not : a pre-launch test is not the launch game, and it is not early access you keep. The Global Closed Beta was officially a data-wipe test, and its progress did not carry over (the one exception is the Bond Pact: one sealed Aniimo, reclaimed at launch).

Confirmed beta phases

Here is every public or closed test FunPlus has officially confirmed for Aniimo. All four are over; next comes the global launch on 16 September 2026.

Phase	Dates	Platforms	Status
Closed Beta 1	2025-07-04 to 2025-07-10	PC	Completed
iOS Technical Test	3-day test	iOS (TestFlight)	Completed
Paws Up: Closed Beta 2	2026-01-23 to 2026-02-08	PC, iOS (TestFlight)	Completed
Global Closed Beta	2026-07-09 to 2026-07-25 (pre-download July 8)	PC, iOS, Android, Steam	Completed, data wiped; recruitment closed July 5, 2026

The platform list comes straight from the FunPlus launch-window press release and the June 7 sign-up announcement, the start and pre-download dates from the official beta announcement, and the end date from the official end notice. You can see the same phases dated on our full roadmap.

What is actually confirmed about sign-up

This is the part where I separate what FunPlus has stated from what the community assumes. Take only the confirmed line as gospel.

• The sign-up channel : sign-ups ran through the official site, and that window has now closed (recruitment ended July 5, 2026). That was the only confirmed channel. What was never confirmed is whether registering granted priority invites, so if you got your registration in, simply watch the email you used for access details.
• The invitation method : FunPlus has not disclosed how Aniimo beta invites are distributed. Anyone telling you the exact selection rule is guessing. Treat the mechanism as reported / not officially confirmed.
• Client and region : across the past Aniimo tests, the platforms used have been PC, iOS (TestFlight), PC (Steam), iOS and Android, per the Steam page and the launch-window press release. Past Closed Beta 2 recruitment closed on a hard deadline (Jan 20, 23:59 UTC+8), and the Global Closed Beta followed the same pattern: its recruitment closed on a fixed cutoff (July 5, 2026), so this round can no longer be joined.

Should you chase the beta?

Here is my honest take, fenced off from the facts above.

• The tests are over. If FunPlus ever runs another one, it suits players who enjoy testing rough builds, reporting bugs and previewing systems early, and who accept that the build is incomplete and progress gets wiped.
• You missed nothing if you never tested. No beta gave a head start that carried to launch, so the only cost of skipping them was the preview itself. With the finished game arriving on 16 September 2026, the prep that pays now is our interactive map, tier list and team planner.

Common mistakes to avoid

• “Beta key” and “early access” sites : only the official site is a confirmed channel. Sites selling or gifting Aniimo beta keys for an unreleased game are not endorsed by FunPlus, and I would steer well clear of them.
• Treating a test build as the real game : balance, content and performance in a pre-launch test do not represent launch. Judging Aniimo from beta footage is premature, and a “it’s bad” or “it’s perfect” verdict before release is just a vibe, not a review.

FAQ: quick answers

• Is there an Aniimo beta right now? No. The last one, the Global Closed Beta, ran from July 9 to July 25, 2026 and ended with a full data wipe. The next step is the full launch: 16 September 2026 on PC and consoles, 23 September on mobile.
• How do I get an Aniimo beta key? Sign-ups closed on July 5, 2026 and the test ended on July 25, so there is nothing left to join. The only legitimate channel was the official site; FunPlus never disclosed how invites are distributed, so treat any “selection rule” as reported, not confirmed. Ignore third-party “beta key” sellers.
• Does pre-registering guarantee beta access? FunPlus has not confirmed that it does. Treat pre-registration and beta access as separate.
• Will my beta progress carry to launch? No. All Global Closed Beta data was deleted when it ended. The one exception is the Bond Pact: each Pathfinder sealed one Aniimo to reclaim at launch (aniimo.com).
• Is the Aniimo beta free? FunPlus has not announced a paid guaranteed-access tier for Aniimo as of this update.
• What platforms is the Aniimo beta on? The Global Closed Beta ran on PC, iOS, Android and Steam (it was not Steam-exclusive).
