A tiny droplet of information may suggest that Petit Planet, an upcoming life sim from Hoyoverse, may be the company's first game to come to Nintendo Switch. This is great news for cozy gamers and fans of anything with Animal Crossing vibes, but it's still a little odd.
Remember when Hoyoverse confirmed Genshin Impact on Switch? We sure do, and here we are six years later, still waiting. That's why it's weird that Petit Planet now has an official rating for the portable console, while Genshin doesn't.
According to the game's listing on the ESRB website, Petit Planet might just be making its way to Nintendo Switch. The cozy game is now officially rated as E for Everyone on "Windows PC [and] Nintendo Switch 2". As a trusted and official source, it's not often that the ESRB lists the wrong platforms, but mistakes with the publishing pipeline can happen.
While Petit Planet will likely have gacha game mechanics, similar to all of the other Hoyoverse games, it may not be as egregious as the character-based spending. It certainly feels like the most 'Nintendo' of the mobile gaming giant's projects.
There's no official Petit Planet release date just yet, as we've only seen beta tests open up so far, but it's getting closer. Who knows, maybe it will come to the Switch, too.
