HoYoverse, the studio behind global hits like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, has officially unveiled its newest project: Petit Planet, a cosmic-themed life simulation game that blends creativity, exploration, and community in a starry new universe. Starting today, Closed Beta sign-ups are open for what the developer calls its “Coziness Test,” giving fans their first chance to step into this imaginative world.
A Life Sim Beyond the Stars
Petit Planet invites players to nurture their own planet, grow ecosystems, and connect with unique neighbors scattered across the galaxy. Guided by its slogan, “Weave Your Dreams Beneath the Stars,” the game transforms the universe into a personal canvas, where everyday life meets cosmic wonder. From planting and fishing to cooking, crafting, and decorating, the game emphasizes relaxation and self-expression while still offering the thrill of galactic exploration.
Companionship and Creativity at the Core
At the heart of Petit Planet are its fuzzy companions known as Neighbors. Each Neighbor brings their own stories, dreams, and personalities, making every interaction feel meaningful. Players can invite them to settle, exchange gifts, and deepen bonds through heartfelt conversations. As planets flourish, so do friendships, turning daily activities into memorable cosmic experiences.
Adventure Across the Galaxy
Beyond tending to your own world, Petit Planet offers opportunities to explore. Players can embark on Starsea Voyages alongside their Neighbors to uncover hidden islets, discover rare creatures, and collect secret recipes. Meanwhile, the Galactic Bazaar serves as a lively hub for player interaction—whether enjoying a festival, chatting over coffee, or forging new friendships with fellow explorers.
A Cozy New Direction for HoYoverse
Marking the studio’s first foray into the life simulation genre, Petit Planet embraces a charming 3D cartoony art style and will be available on PC and mobile, with additional platforms in development. HoYoverse has confirmed that the game will explore both social and multiplayer elements, encouraging players to create not only their dream planet but also meaningful connections with others across the cosmos.
