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

HoYoVerse's parent company, MiHoYo, has been busy lately, particularly with their upcoming game, previously known as Astaweave Haven. This title, even before a public unveiling, is undergoing significant changes, prompting speculation and anticipation.

For fans of gacha games or RPGs, Astaweave Haven might be familiar. While official details from MiHoYo remain scarce, indications suggest a departure from their typical open-world gacha adventures. Instead of another gacha RPG, it appears Astaweave Haven, now rebranded as Petit Planet, may be a life simulation or management game, reminiscent of titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.

The name change itself is intriguing. "Petit Planet" conveys a cuter, more approachable image, subtly hinting at its management sim nature.

Release Date Uncertainty

Currently, the game's launch remains unannounced. While Astaweave Haven received Chinese approval for PC and mobile in July, the newly registered name, Petit Planet, awaits US and UK approval. Given MiHoYo's rapid release history (witness the quick succession of Zenless Zone Zero after Honkai: Star Rail), post-approval launch is anticipated soon.

Community Reaction

The rebranding has generated considerable buzz. Community discussions, such as those found on Reddit, offer diverse perspectives on the name change.

Until further announcements regarding Petit Planet (formerly Astaweave Haven), stay tuned for more gaming news and updates.
