HoYoverse is taking direct aim at the cozy simulation market with Petit Planet, locking in an official launch date for December 4. The Genshin Impact developer aims squarely at the Animal Crossing audience by delivering an interstellar spin on casual neighborhood life.
Players will spend their time building out personalized miniature planets, harvesting crops, catching fish, and interacting with diverse casts of friendly animal inhabitants. The title also incorporates full cooperative multiplayer alongside driveable vehicles, allowing groups to cruise across neighboring planets together.
If you were waiting for a major studio to challenge Nintendo's iron grip on the relaxation genre, HoYoverse plans to find out whether its signature live-service formula can conquer the farming crowd.
