HoYoverse will stream a release preview program for Petit Planet on November 1 at 20:00 on its official YouTube channel and X account. The company announced the broadcast on October 23. Petit Planet is a slow-life game in which players become a Hoshimibito and grow a star by reshaping its terrain and arranging areas, with farming, fishing, furniture crafting, and interaction with neighbors and friends who arrive from the sea of stars. Development team members and special guests will appear on the stream to unpack what the program calls the "first page" of life on the star, with game content plus upcoming events and campaigns. A follow-and-repost campaign runs from October 23 until the broadcast starts at 20:00 on November 1, with twenty winners drawn from those who follow the official X account and repost the designated post, each receiving a 3,000 yen Amazon gift card. Petit Planet is planned for release in winter 2026 on PC, iOS, and Android, and pre-registration is open.
The company behind Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail is billing the game as its first slow-life title, and the broadcast will lean on that framing. Development team members and special guests will walk through the fun of growing your own star and interactions with neighbors, alongside events and campaigns planned for the future.
A second promotion runs alongside the follow-and-repost draw. The "Petit Planet Moving Support Campaign" is held every week ahead of the winter release, with a different theme and prize each installment, entered by quote-reposting the designated post with a specified hashtag. The anniversary framing comes from Game Spark's beta coverage, which tracked how the game changed over one year: more Japanese voice work and enhanced AI NPCs. Earlier press described the game as a "star-growing" slow life, with a new trailer out of gamescom ONL 2026 and a beta test that added multiplayer features and interactions with cute beasts.
