HoYoverse announced on November 2 that its planet life simulation game Petit Planet will officially launch globally on December 4 for PC, iOS, and Android.
Petit Planet is HoYoverse's first planet life simulation game. It supports cross-platform progression between PC and mobile, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version scheduled to launch in 2027. Players can acquire more than 1,000 types of clothing and furniture items through in-game activities.
The release date was announced during a pre-launch preview broadcast. The stream also revealed Neighbor characters, core gameplay systems, and commemorative launch events.
At the core of the game is the journey of cultivating one's own planet. Players become a 'Planet Tender', arriving at the Starsea on the back of 'Oumuamua', a Starsea Spirit. As a 'Luca Seed' planted on the planet grows into a 'Luca Arbor', the landscape, four seasons, and ecosystem gradually change, and players can express their personality through earned clothing and furniture.
The game features content to interact with Neighbors who each carry their own stories, including Planet Support Coordinator 'Mobai' and Starsea Racer 'Elsasani'. Players can sail boats to explore islets across the Starsea, and at the 'Galactic Bazaar', they can participate in minigames and auctions or share their creations with others.
Ahead of the launch, a pre-registration lucky draw event and a planet design event are underway. The pre-registration lucky draw offers opportunities to win physical prizes and outfit sets, while a team-up event where players invite two friends to complete pre-registration awards each member one special outfit.
On launch day, the first 'Petit Planet Seasonal Creation Event' will kick off. Players can share their creations to receive in-game rewards and official merchandise. Pre-registration is currently ongoing, and further details about the game are available on the official website and official community channels.
