About
ANIMALKIND takes place in an inviting open world populated by adorable animal friends, with access to the industrial-grade opposable thumbs and upgradeable chassis of an ancient mech. Discover enchanting wilderness biomes, build a bustling village, and customize your ideal home with this powerful relic. Beyond the game’s charming characters and cozy vibes lies a mysterious world. Explore to uncover hints of what transpired before your character joined the world of ANIMALKIND. Players can set out solo, or frolic with friends to create towns cooperatively, play minigames, and forage together in the wild.
