The creators of AFK Arena announce Clash of Critters pre-registration!

If I say Lilith Games, you're bound to think of AFK Arena, AFK Journey or Dislyte. Well, I've got good news for fans of the studio: Lilith Games has just announced Clash of Critters pre-registration, its new title coming soon! Formerly known as Ace Trainers, the creature-collecting game is already available in South Korea, and will be released globally on 22 May 2026.

Clash of Critters pre-registrations open: what's in store for Lilith Games' new baby?

We're not going to lie, Clash of Critters is openly inspired by Pokémon gameplay! Your aim is to collect the hundred or so adorable little creatures known as Tataris, train them and help them evolve.

Survivor-style PvE and PvP duels for Clash of Critters

In terms of gameplay, Clash of Critters offers both PvP and PvE with simple mechanics. The game is designed to be accessible to all players:

• Build the best team: choose your best Tataris to build your team
• Survivor-style PvE: your Tataris will fight waves of zombies in strategic battles
  
  
• The game's PvP mode: you can also duel with other players
• Base management: use your Tataris to build and develop your base into a cosy little nest, just like in a cozy game.
• Mini games: including a pinball mini-game to complete the experience.

In terms of visual design, Lilith Games has dropped its usual style and come up with cute, colourful cartoon designs that remind me of CookieRun: Kingdom. Clash of Critters pre-registration is now open on Android and iOS. The game is due to be released on 22 May 2026, so mark your calendars!
