MiHoYo’s Upcoming Animal Crossing-Like Game Astaweave Haven Now Has a New Name!

MiHoYo, the powerhouse behind HoYoVerse, has been making waves with their latest project, originally known as Astaweave Haven. This much-anticipated game has already undergone a name change before its official reveal, now set to be called Petit Planet. This shift in nomenclature hints at a fresh direction for MiHoYo, deviating from their signature open-world gacha RPGs.

If you're a fan of gacha games or RPGs, Astaweave Haven, now Petit Planet, might already be on your radar. Though details from MiHoYo are sparse, the game is rumored to lean towards a life-simulation or management genre, drawing inspiration from beloved titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley. The new name, Petit Planet, resonates well with this shift, suggesting a cozy, management-focused experience rather than another action-packed RPG.

When Is the Game Launching?

As of now, Petit Planet remains in development with no concrete release date announced. Astaweave Haven received approval for both PC and mobile versions in China back in July. More recently, on October 31st, HoYoVerse registered the new name, Petit Planet, which is currently awaiting approval in the U.S. and U.K.

MiHoYo/HoYoVerse is renowned for their rapid development cycles, as evidenced by their swift follow-up to Honkai: Star Rail with Zenless Zone Zero. Fans can hope that once Petit Planet secures its name approval, we won't have to wait long to see what this intriguing new title has in store.
