While official details are a little thin on the ground, we now have official confirmation of Petit Planet's art style, logo, and mascots, thanks to the X account having a little makeover. It looks very different from every other Hoyoverse game so far, but we're excited nonetheless.
The short trailer gives us a glimpse of what to expect from Petit Planet. Fruit-laden trees, a grassy glade with mushrooms, and a small, round creature with big blue eyes greet us. This transforms into a drawing of the small creature and a much bigger one, which then changes into the game's icon art.
The setting seems similar to Animal Crossing: New Horizons so far, with a tiered landscape featuring a waterfall and different types of trees. For now, our team is speculating about what could come to the game - will there be humanoid characters? What is the gacha system like? Hoyoverse will hopefully reveal more sooner rather than later.
The X account only links to the main Hoyoverse website for now, which doesn't have a section for Petit Planet. Not yet, anyway - judging by how quickly Honkai Nexus Anima got information, there's every chance we'll see more about Petit Planet rather soon.
It's thought that a previously rumored game by Hoyoverse, Astaweave Haven, may, in fact, now be Petit Planet after Hoyoverse filed a trademark for the name on October 31, 2024. Previously, a screenshot appeared on r/gachagaming by Alternative-Duty-532 showing plenty of worldwide accounts for Petit Planet instead of Astaweave Haven, allegedly with the original Astaweave account being deleted.
Regardless of the title, I'm excited to try a new game like Animal Crossing, with some Stardew Valley vibes in there too. Though with the recent reveal of Pokémon Pokopia and Palworld's own farm game with hefty Animal Crossing vibes, there's a lot to choose from.
There's a lot to look forward to as a cozy games fan - here's what we know about the Floatopia release date, Witchbrook release date, and Haunted Chocolatier release date, all coming to Switch in the future.
