HoYoVerse's parent company, MiHoYo, is making waves with its upcoming game, originally known as Astaweave Haven. This title, even before its official reveal, is undergoing significant changes, including a name change to "Petit Planet."
For fans of gacha games and RPGs, Astaweave Haven (now Petit Planet) might already be on your radar. While official details remain scarce, it's anticipated to be a departure from HoYoVerse's usual open-world gacha adventures. Instead of the typical gacha RPG formula, Petit Planet is shaping up to be a life-simulation or management game, reminiscent of titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.
The name change itself is intriguing. "Petit Planet" offers a more charming and suggestive title, hinting at the game's likely genre shift.
Release Date Uncertainty:
Currently, the game's launch date remains unannounced. While Astaweave Haven received Chinese approval for PC and mobile platforms in July, HoYoVerse registered "Petit Planet" on October 31st, awaiting US and UK approval.
Given MiHoYo's rapid release schedule (consider the quick succession of Zenless Zone Zero after Honkai: Star Rail), we can anticipate a relatively swift launch once the name change is officially approved.
