HoYoverse Reveals Cozy Life Sim Game Petit Planet
HoYoverse, the studio behind free-to-play games like Zenless Zone Zero, Genshin Impact, and Honkai: Star Rail, has announced an all-new game, Petit Planet.
But don’t think for a minute that this is another action fantasy, as players will be trading up the life of a hero for something far more relaxing.
A Cozy Cosmic Life Sim
Petit Planet is an all-new experience from HoYoverse, built as a life simulator where players will take on several relaxing activities, such as planting, fishing, beachcombing, mining, cooking, and crafting.
“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.
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. As the planet prospers, so do the friendships upon it. Petit Planet weaves relationship building into daily activities to unlock deeper connections, turning ordinary encounters into cosmic wonders.
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. Beyond exploration lies the Galactic Bazaar, an ever-bustling social hub where conversations spark over coffee, festival events bring joy to the sky, and friendships are formed with other players, turning a fleeting moment into a lasting connection.”
Closed beta sign-ups are now open on the official Petit Planet website, and at the moment, the game is targeting a release on PC and mobile, with additional platforms in development.
This is pretty surprising, especially since they just announced Honkai: Nexus Animus just last month. Wasn’t expecting another game to be announced from them, yet alone a life sim, and it certainly looks to be an interesting one. Definitely worth keeping an eye on if you love their games and are a fan of life sims.
There is no target release date at the moment.
