Astaweave Haven Unveils New Name, Poised for Release

HoYoVerse's parent company, MiHoYo, is keeping busy! Their upcoming game, originally titled Astaweave Haven, has received a significant makeover, even before its official unveiling. The name change hints at a potential shift in gameplay style.

For those unfamiliar, Astaweave Haven was rumored to be a departure from HoYoVerse's typical open-world gacha RPGs. While official details remain scarce, indications suggest a life-simulation or management game, reminiscent of titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.

Enter Petit Planet! This is the new name for Astaweave Haven, a moniker that suggests a charming, management-focused experience, rather than another gacha RPG. The name change is a welcome surprise for many.

Release Date Uncertainty

Currently, the game's launch date remains undisclosed. Astaweave Haven received Chinese approval for PC and mobile releases in July. However, with the October 31st trademark registration of "Petit Planet" in the U.S. and U.K. awaiting approval, a release date is still uncertain.

Given MiHoYo's rapid release schedule (consider the quick succession of Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai: Star Rail), we can anticipate further announcements soon after the name change is finalized.
