Aniimo opens on September 16, 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8. In the continental United States, that same moment falls on the evening of September 15. The two dates describe the same announced PC and console launch.
Use the live launch countdown to track the PC and console opening. The table below explains the local dates; mobile has a separate release schedule.
Mobile has its own release date, September 23. Converting a timezone does not bring the iPhone or Android launch forward by a week.

Why Steam says September 15
Steam displays September 15 while the global campaign leads with September 16. The announced opening crosses the date boundary between the Americas and Asia. Neither date establishes a separate early-access period.
Use the full date, time and timezone when arranging a session. “Tuesday evening” works for a group in California, but a friend in Germany will be setting an alarm for Wednesday morning.
Mobile follows on September 23
iOS and Android arrive on September 23, after the PC and console opening. The mobile announcement gives a date; it does not establish the same 10:00 UTC+8 unlock hour. Keep the countdown above for PC and console only.
If your group includes mobile-only players, decide whether the first week's session is a PC/console start or whether everyone will begin together later. The mobile launch overview explains the platform split, while the account and crossplay guide covers planning a shared account and server setup.
A download is not a server opening
Pre-registration, wishlisting, pre-order packs and preloading serve different purposes. A downloaded client can still wait for its service to open. A store countdown also does not establish when a preload becomes available on every platform.
The base game is free to play. Paid pre-order packs contain extras; the listed opening time is not a promise of earlier access for buying a pack. Use the official launch site to reach your platform's download or registration page.
Get ready before your local evening or morning
Before installing, compare your PC with the system requirements. Once the service opens, follow the launch reward checklist on the character you intend to keep.
