HoYoverse sets Petit Planet’s global launch for December 4

HoYoverse will launch Petit Planet globally on December 4, 2026. The company confirmed the date in an October 30 announcement, and the Epic Games Store lists the PC edition as a free download with pre-registration open. The pitch is a home of your own on a small, customisable planet.

Players can change the landscape, coastline and sky as well as decorate their house. Daily activities include farming, fishing, catching bugs, beachcombing and cooking. Animal-like Neighbors bring their own personalities and stories, with gifts, shared meals and small favours offering ways to build a relationship. The emphasis is on arranging a place you want to spend time in, then finding reasons to return.

Exploration takes the game beyond that home planet. The Starsea opens up other locations and materials, while the Galactic Bazaar provides a social hub for meeting other players, trading and spending time together. The shop-and-garden rhythm is therefore only one part of the attraction; deciding when to stay home and when to seek company is another.

There is a practical detail for Southeast Asian players on PC: Epic lists Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese text alongside English and other languages. That makes it easier to follow neighbour conversations and menus in a familiar language. The same listing identifies optional in-game purchases, including random items, alongside the free base game.

Pre-registration is the next step for players planning to start in December. HoYoverse’s official site is already promoting its registration rewards, while the release-date announcement gives returning beta players a firm date to plan around. The final beta ended on October 19.
