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

HoYoVerse's parent company, MiHoYo, is making waves with its upcoming game, formerly known as Astaweave Haven. This title, even before its official unveiling, is undergoing significant changes, hinting at a potential shift in the developer's usual game style.

Fans of gacha or RPG games may recognize the name Astaweave Haven. However, official details remain scarce. Early indications suggest a departure from HoYoVerse's typical open-world gacha adventures. Instead, it's speculated to be a life simulation or management game, drawing comparisons to titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.

The big news? Astaweave Haven has a new name: Petit Planet. This moniker offers a sweeter, more approachable feel, reinforcing the perception of a management sim rather than a traditional MiHoYo gacha RPG.

Release Date Uncertainty

Currently, there's no official release date. While Astaweave Haven received approval in China for PC and mobile platforms in July, HoYoVerse registered the name Petit Planet on October 31st. The new name now awaits approval in the U.S. and U.K.

Given MiHoYo/HoYoVerse's rapid release schedule (consider the quick succession of Zenless Zone Zero after Honkai: Star Rail), we can anticipate a swift launch following name approval. The community is buzzing with anticipation, and you can join the conversation on this Reddit thread.
