HoYoverse has announced a new life simulation game called Petit Planet, which allows players to create and nurture their own celestial environment, similar to Animal Crossing. Players will engage in daily activities like gardening, crafting, and decorating while building friendships with neighbors. The game was previously known as Astaweave, and the name change has been noted by fans. Players can sign up for a beta test by visiting the official website and completing a questionnaire, although no specific beta launch date has been provided. The first trailer for Petit Planet was released at the 2025 Tokyo Game Show, showcasing elements like woodland creatures and social interactions. The game features characters such as Yunguo, Isaki, Medowlyn, and Frostia, each contributing to the game's depth. Activities in Petit Planet will include planting, fishing, mining, cooking, crafting, and exploring new locations through a "Starsea Voyage," as well as interacting in a social hub called the "Galactic Bazaar."
