Aniimo Patch Notes & Updates

Every official Aniimo update, in order: patch notes, closed-beta news and in-game events, each dated and linked to its official source on aniimo.com. We keep this current so you can see exactly what has changed and when, from the first beta in 2025 to the latest Global CBT news. Where we have written full coverage, the entry links straight to our article; the rest link the official notice.

This timeline tracks 41 official notices (30 with our own full write-up). Minor login-gift and small bug-fix notices live here rather than as separate pages, so the history stays complete without thin filler. For the latest editorial coverage, see News; for how the systems work, see the systems explainers.
