AneeMate transitions to survival mode in upcoming playtest
QORPO Game Studio’s AneeMate will introduce a survival-focused gameplay mode in its Q2 2026 playtest. Players will collaborate in co-op sessions to loot resources, rescue trapped characters, and combat robotic adversaries across diverse islands.
The addition of proximity chat aims to enhance player interaction. This feature promotes spontaneous communication, reflecting a trend seen in other extraction shooters. It aligns with AneeMate’s blend of social gaming and competitive looting.

Game mechanics and customization
Drawing on creature-collecting and extraction shooter elements, AneeMate allows players to customize child avatars and engage in 30-minute gameplay sessions. Players must gather loot, craft equipment, and reach extraction points while racing against the clock. Combat partners known as AneeMates adapt to player styles, informed by a generative AI system.
Currently available on the Epic Games Store, AneeMate’s initial Genesis Collection of 3,333 unique NFTs sold out on the BNB Chain at launch. The game offers a talent system to deepen customization, introduced earlier this year.
Testing history and infrastructure
AneeMate’s testing began in August 2024, with NFT holders getting early access. The broader pre-alpha launched in May 2025 via a whitelist, inviting more players into the extraction loop. The upcoming playtest builds on this foundation, incorporating survival elements.
The game relies on AWS for back-end support, utilizing Amazon GameLift for cross-platform functionality and Amazon SageMaker for evolving creature abilities. QORPO counts over 700,000 registered users, logging upwards of 100,000 daily players across its titles.
TOY Chain and the web3 economy
QORPO is developing TOY Chain, a gaming-focused Layer 3 blockchain, to facilitate on-chain features. AneeMate and Citizen Conflict are among the first titles set to launch on this blockchain. The $QORPO token is central to the ecosystem, with players having access to wallets for managing assets.
While players can engage with AneeMate without a blockchain aspect, NFTs for characters and skins can still be minted. The game promotes a player-driven economy, distinguishing itself from traditional creature-catching games by emphasizing real ownership and trade.
QORPO will provide details on playtest registration and regional availability through AneeMate’s official channels.
