At the 2026 TapTap Game Conference on Thursday, Recreate Games announced the development of a mobile version of its hit party game Party Animals. The studio said, “The mobile version folder has been created,” but did not disclose a testing schedule or release window. Even so, the announcement quickly drew widespread attention from players.
Since its launch on PC and Xbox in 2023, Party Animals has become a popular choice for multiplayer sessions thanks to its adorable animal characters, physics-based slapstick gameplay, and lighthearted party mechanics.
The game has earned a Very Positive rating on Steam and received nominations for Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards (TGA) as well as the BAFTA Games Awards, making it one of China’s best-known party games.
According to the team, the mobile version will retain the core gameplay of the original. Players will once again take control of round, fluffy animal characters to play sports, card games, hide-and-seek, go fishing, or engage in the game’s signature friendly brawls.
To better suit mobile devices, the development team says it is optimizing the touchscreen controls, aiming to make classic actions such as moving, grabbing, and sprinting feel as smooth as possible while preserving the original’s physics-driven interactions.
