MiHoYo, the powerhouse behind HoYoVerse, has been stirring up excitement with their latest project, originally known as Astaweave Haven. Even before fans could get a glimpse, the game has undergone a significant transformation, now rebranded as Petit Planet. This change suggests a promising shift in direction for the upcoming title.
If you're a fan of gacha games or RPGs, Astaweave Haven might have already caught your attention. However, official details from MiHoYo have been scarce. From the bits we've gathered, Petit Planet could mark a departure from HoYoVerse's traditional open-world gacha adventures. Instead, it hints at being a life-simulation or management-based game, reminiscent of popular titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.
The new name, Petit Planet, not only sounds more endearing but also aligns well with the speculated management sim genre, setting it apart from MiHoYo's typical gacha RPGs.
When Is the Game Launching?
Currently, Petit Planet is still in development, with no official launch date announced. The game, initially known as Astaweave Haven, received approval in China for both PC and mobile versions in July. On October 31st, HoYoVerse registered the new name, Petit Planet, which is now pending approval in the U.S. and U.K.
MiHoYo/HoYoVerse is renowned for its rapid pace in game development and releases. Following the successful launch of Zenless Zone Zero shortly after Honkai: Star Rail, there's hope that once the name is approved, we won't have to wait long to see what Petit Planet has in store.
