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

HoYoVerse's parent company, MiHoYo, has been busy! Their upcoming game, originally titled Astaweave Haven, is getting a makeover, including a brand-new name: Petit Planet. While details remain scarce, this shift hints at a potential departure from MiHoYo's usual open-world gacha RPG style.

If you're a fan of gacha or RPGs, you may have already heard whispers of Astaweave Haven. However, official information from MiHoYo has been limited. Early indications suggest Petit Planet might be a life-simulation or management game, drawing comparisons to titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.

The name change itself is intriguing. "Petit Planet" has a charming, approachable feel, further reinforcing the impression of a management sim rather than a typical MiHoYo gacha RPG.

Release Date Uncertainty

Currently, there's no official launch date. Astaweave Haven received approval in China for PC and mobile in July. The name change to Petit Planet was registered in October, and now awaits approval in the U.S. and U.K.

Given MiHoYo's track record of rapid development and release (consider the quick succession of Zenless Zone Zero after Honkai: Star Rail), we can hope for a swift approval process, followed by a reveal of Petit Planet's gameplay and visuals.
