Hoyo Bus heading to G-Star with 2 new releases… “Focus on user voices”

Hoyo Bus will present two new works at G-Star 2026, ‘Petite Planet’ and ‘Collapse: Nexus Anima’.

On the 6th, Hoyo Bus held a press conference at the Grand Hyatt Seoul Hotel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul and unveiled 'Petit Planet' and 'Collapse: Nexus Anima'.

Hoyo Bus Korea branch manager Hwang Ran said, "If the last Hoyo Land was a bar for existing fans, this G-Star is a place to showcase differentiated new products and listen to the voices of users. We want to focus on user feedback rather than numbers such as the number of booth visitors."

Petit Planet, scheduled to be released on December 4, is a casual game targeting a wider range of users, unlike Hoyo Bus' previous works, which have previously introduced character-centered role-playing games (RPGs).

It aims to be a life simulation game where you can create your own planet, meet various 'neighbor' characters with animal motifs, and interact with other users.

Director Hwang said, “The game features a game where no one is left behind as there is no set clear method,” and “Whether it is a busy life or a leisurely and leisurely life, you can live the ideal daily life you want.”

The game is equipped with artificial intelligence (AI)-based chatbot technology.

Art director Hwang In-ri said, "There are characters in the game that can chat with AI, and we plan to continue adding more," adding, "This feature can be turned on and off depending on the user's choice, and the collection of conversation content complies with each country's privacy laws."

As it is a game aimed at all users, protection measures for younger age groups were also mentioned.

Planning lead Murphy said, “You can fully enjoy the entire gameplay of the game without purchasing paid products,” and “Guardians can control whether their children can purchase products.”

'Collapse: Nexus Anima' is a game that combines character collection RPG and auto battler such as 'strategic team battle'.

Players can explore the modern city of 'Iya Village', form relationships with various 'Anima' characters reminiscent of Pokémon, and battle by placing the characters on hexagonal tiles.

'Collapse: Nexus Anima' will be officially released next spring after undergoing a global beta test on the 25th of this month.

Wang Yuyang, CEO of Hoyo Bus Global Business, who visited the site, said, "If the previously introduced Genless Zone Zero shows Hoyo Bus' expansion capabilities, Petit Planet is a work that focuses on small, everyday stories rather than grand narratives."

He emphasized, "We will continue to present new, exciting, and unimaginable content in the future."
