An upcoming Animal Crossing-like game has officially been confirmed for release on the Nintendo Switch 2, with Petit Planet revealing that it will arrive on the Nintendo platform in 2027. Petit Planet will be the newest game from Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse and has drawn positive comparisons to Nintendo’s Animal Crossing series.
The Animal Crossing franchise has become one of Nintendo’s biggest properties since the debut of the original game on the Nintendo GameCube. Each new console from Nintendo has typically received a new entry in the series, including handheld games like Wild World on the Nintendo DS and New Leaf on the 3DS.
