MiHoYo, the Chinese developer behind HoYoVerse, is making waves with its upcoming project. Initially known as Astaweave Haven, the game has been renamed Petit Planet, even before a full reveal. This suggests significant changes are underway.

If you're a fan of gacha or RPG titles, you might have already encountered mentions of Astaweave Haven. While official details remain scarce, it appears this new game will differ from HoYoVerse's established open-world gacha style. Instead of another gacha RPG, Astaweave Haven, now Petit Planet, seems poised to be a life simulation or management game, reminiscent of titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.

The name change itself is intriguing. Petit Planet sounds more charming and hints at its likely genre, further distinguishing it from MiHoYo's typical offerings.

Release Date Uncertainty:

The game is currently under development, with no official release date announced. Astaweave Haven received Chinese approval for PC and mobile platforms in July. The name change to Petit Planet was registered by HoYoVerse on October 31st, and is now awaiting approval in the U.S. and U.K.

Given MiHoYo's rapid release schedule (consider the quick succession of Zenless Zone Zero after Honkai: Star Rail), we can anticipate a relatively swift launch following name approval.
