Today, publisher HoYoverse announced that its brand-new cosmic life simulation title ‘Petit Planet’ will see its Closed Beta test begin across PC and iOS devices on 7 November. Guided by the slogan “Weave Your Dreams Beneath the Stars,” the game turns planets into creative canvases where players can express themselves freely while embarking on an idyllic yet adventurous journey alongside distinctive Neighbors and kindred spirits from different planets.
You can still sign up for the Closed Beta at planet.hoyoverse.com.
Per the rest of the press release:
In Petit Planet, players are entrusted to nurture a planet of their own and gradually form a galaxy by connecting with different planets scattered across the starry sky. The journey begins on each player’s planet, where fuzzy Neighbors can connect their home planets. As bonds deepen and planets flourish, Luca, the planet’s vitality, will shape each unique planet with different landscapes, brimming with life and energy.
As a life sim, Petit Planet unfolds everyday life with various joyful yet relaxing activities — planting, fishing, beachcombing, mining, cooking, and crafting. The sparkling moments of life also emerge when players harvest exotic crops, discover diverse ecosystems, and gather with adorable Neighbors. Beyond daily pursuits, Petit Planet offers customized options to encourage creativity — stylize characters with favorite outfits, design interiors, arrange outdoor spaces with themed furniture, and with Luca, even the sky, grasslands, and beaches can be transformed into new forms.
The galaxy shines brighter through connections with traveling Neighbors, each carrying their own personalities, stories, and dreams. These fuzzy companions can be invited to settle, and friendships can grow through heartfelt conversations, thoughtful gift exchanges, and unique interactions that make every bond distinct. As the planet prospers, so do the friendships upon it. Petit Planet weaves relationship building into daily activities to unlock deeper connections, turning ordinary encounters into cosmic wonders.
Even so, connections built in Petit Planet are never confined to your own planet. Players may board their trusty vehicle with helpful Neighbors to take a Starsea Voyage, venturing into unknown Islets, discovering rare creatures, uncovering hidden recipes, and forging unexpected friendships across the galaxy. Beyond exploration lies the Galactic Bazaar, an ever-bustling social hub where conversations spark over coffee, festival events bring joy to the sky, and friendships are formed with other players, turning a fleeting moment into a lasting connection.
The closed beta Coziness Test for Petit Planet will be available on PC and iOS starting November 7. Sign-ups will remain open on the official website planet.hoyoverse.com until further notice from the official channels. A limited number of players will be selected from those who successfully complete the survey to receive beta access.
