After an open-world RPG, a turn-based JRPG, and multiple action RPGs, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail dev announces new life sim Petit Planet, which looks like Animal Crossing except your town is a whole galaxy

The next game from Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail developer HoYoverse is Petit Planet, a "cosmic life sim" that seems loosely styled after Animal Crossing with one major difference: rather than a town, you get a whole planet to customize in a galaxy of friends.

Petit Planet is technically the next next game from Hoyo, as it only just announced Honkai: Nexus Anima, a creature collector strategy game. Outside this bubble of games – and also the otome dating sim Tears of Themis – the company is generally known for RPGs. It really got its start with the sci-fi action RPG Honkai Impact 3rd, then came fantasy open-world RPG Genshin Impact, sci-fantasy turn-based JRPG Honkai: Star Rail, and urban action RPG Zenless Zone Zero.
