Animal Crossing fans who are waiting for any news of the next game might have a new title coming that'll fill that cozy-island-living-shaped hole in their hearts. Heartopia is a cozy game in the style of Animal Crossing and MySims from developer XD International that's scheduled to release sometime in 2026.
The development and publishing company has previously worked on successful titles like Go!Go!Muffin, a mobile version of classic MMO Ragnarok Online, Torchlight: Infinite, and many others. Now, the studio is turning its attention to the cozy gaming community with the adorable upcoming game, Heartopia.
Heartopia is an ultra-stylized, cute game with a strong emphasis on self-expression without limits. The game will apparently include absolutely no stamina systems or daily checklists, giving players the freedom to interact with the world however they want.
The title will have several hobbies to try, including classics like fishing, cooking, and gardening, and some more unusual options like birdwatching and caring for cats. However, players can also completely ignore all those and simply hang out with friends or enjoy the cute environments and critters.
A robust customization system will allow players to make every part of their little house...
