HoYoverse Unveils Petit Planet

Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero were just the beginning. Just a few weeks after announcing Honkai: Nexus Anima, HoYoverse unveiled its first life simulation game, Petit Planet.

Following the recent announcement of the creature-collecting game Honkai: Nexus Anima, HoYoverse has now revealed its next project: Petit Planet. This cosmic life simulation game blends creation, discovery and community-oriented experiences. With its 3D cartoony and stylised art, Petit Planet marks HoYoverse's first foray into this genre. Petit Planet is confirmed for PC and mobile, with additional platforms currently in development. It also explores the possibilities of social and multiplayer gameplay.

HoYoverse: "In Petit Planet, players are entrusted to nurture a planet of their own and gradually form a galaxy by connecting with different planets scattered across the starry sky. The journey begins on each player's planet, where fuzzy Neighbors can connect their home planets. As bonds deepen and planets flourish, Luca, the planet’s vitality, will shape each unique planet with different landscapes, brimming with life and energy. As a life sim, Petit Planet unfolds everyday life with various joyful yet relaxing activities - planting, fishing, beachcombing, mining, cooking, and crafting. (...) The galaxy shines brighter through connections with traveling Neighbors, each carrying their own personalities, stories, and dreams. These fuzzy companions can be invited to settle, and friendships can grow through heartfelt conversations, thoughtful gift exchanges, and unique interactions that make every bond distinct. (...) Even so, connections built in Petit Planet are never confined to your own planet. Players may board their trusty vehicle with helpful Neighbors to take a Starsea Voyage, venturing into unknown Islets, discovering rare creatures, uncovering hidden recipes, and forging unexpected friendships across the galaxy."

HoYoverse is part of the Chinese gaming company miHoYo. Since February 2022, it has operated its global products and international marketing under the HoYoverse brand name. The company is best known for Genshin Impact, as well as for Honkai: Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd, Tears of Themis and Zenless Zone Zero.
