MiHoYo Renames Astaweave Haven to [New Name]

MiHoYo, the powerhouse behind HoYoVerse, is always stirring up excitement in the gaming world. Their latest project, originally known as Astaweave Haven, has undergone a name change to Petit Planet, even before its official reveal. This shift has sparked curiosity and anticipation among fans, especially those who enjoy gacha games and RPGs.

Astaweave Haven, now Petit Planet, is rumored to be a departure from HoYoVerse's typical open-world gacha adventures. Instead, it's speculated to be a life-simulation or management-based game, drawing comparisons to popular titles like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. The new name, Petit Planet, not only sounds more endearing but also hints at a cozy, management-focused experience.

As for the launch, details are still under wraps. Astaweave Haven received approval in China for both PC and mobile versions in July. Recently, on October 31st, HoYoVerse registered the new name, Petit Planet, which is currently awaiting approval in the U.S. and U.K. Given MiHoYo's track record of rapid game releases, such as the swift launch of Zenless Zone Zero following Honkai: Star Rail, there's hope that Petit Planet will soon be unveiled once the name gets the green light.
