At FunPlus, we’re proud to support our studios in listening closely to their players. The Aniimo community has voiced a clear desire for deeper, more meaningful interaction with their Aniimo companions. Pawprint Studio Interactive, the development studio and publishing label backed by FunPlus, is delivering on this request.
The team is truly inspired by the bonds Pathfinders have already formed with the magical creatures of Idyll. To deepen those connections, and in direct response to what the community has been asking for, the Aniimo team is introducing new interactions designed to bring Aniimo even closer to players and make every adventure feel more alive.
Aniimo is preparing a new post-launch update powered by NVIDIA ACE, enabling Pathfinders to interact directly with their Aniimo companions like never before.
This update is a reflection of FunPlus’ broader strategy for 2026, as we push for innovative solutions and partner with forward-thinking technology providers to deliver the best possible entertainment and gaming experience to players across our portfolio.
The Aniimo team’s goal is to make these interactions feel natural and immersive, allowing players to communicate through voice commands and natural language. Pathfinders will be able to chat with their Aniimo, teach them new skills, and send them out to gather resources using voice input.
Each Aniimo will also respond with dynamic emotions based on player actions, creating a deeper sense of companionship with the creatures that live and adventure alongside them.
