'Genshin Impact' Developer HoYoverse Takes On 'Animal Crossing' With An Upcoming Cozy Game
"HoYoverse recently announced Petit Planet, which it describes as "cosmic life simulation." Most life sims stick players in a small town to explore, but in Petit Planet, each player has their own world to customize. And like Animal Crossing: New Horizons giving players the ability to visit their friends' islands, Petit Planet eventually lets players travel to planets where they can interact with one another, once they've done sufficient work on their own homes."
"Petit Planet's debut trailer shows a cinematic version of what players will get up to in the game without showing any actual gameplay. But what's been shown off should look extremely familiar to life sim fans with a few twists. In the trailer, the player character is seen decorating their home, including building roads and even changing the colors of flowers in the area. Characters are shown fishing, farming, and relaxing at a campsite, all of which would look right at home in Animal Crossing."
HoYoverse is best known for its gacha RPGs Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail. The studio announced Petit Planet, described as a 'cosmic life simulation' where each player customizes a personal world and can eventually travel to other players' planets. The debut trailer is cinematic and does not show gameplay, but depicts home decoration, road-building, changing flower colors, fishing, farming, and camping. The game emphasizes relationships with NPCs and players, featuring a social hub called the Galactic Bazaar. Players appear able to visit planets designed by others after building up their own homes, suggesting cooperative and community-driven gameplay.
