Animal Hospital (Anomaly), the night-shift horror role-play game from Animal Anomaly, is about to roll out Harlow’s Favorite Update — a content drop the studio has been teasing to a crowd of more than 4 million interested players. This page shows what the game has scheduled and when each window opens, and we update it as the developer’s plans change.

Current and upcoming events
Harlow’s Favorite Update
Harlow’s Favorite Update opens Friday, July 10 at 12:00 PM ET and runs through Sunday, July 12 at 12:00 PM ET — a two-day window. The developer’s notes frame it as a broad visual and character refresh rather than a single new mode.
The headline changes include new class visuals and items, reworked skins, and overhauled versions of the security and secret agent classes. There are also new in-game 2D icons and a reduced-flashing-lights mode aimed at players sensitive to strobing effects. On the story side, Dr. Harlow gets a new model and a set of fresh interactions, and the studio is keeping some of the update under wraps — it’s teasing a hidden new interaction and a new lore character it hasn’t named yet.
The interest count is what stands out: more than 4 million players have flagged the update ahead of launch, a figure that towers over the game’s live concurrent population and signals how much attention the horror role-play has picked up. Exact start and end times are shown in the schedule above.
