Following the astounding global successes of the open-world RPG Genshin Impact and space fantasy RPG Honkai: Star Rail, developer studio HoYoverse seems to be cooking up a new title. Rumored to be entitled Starry Sky Valley, the upcoming title is believed to be similar to Animal Crossing.

A relaxed HoYoverse game

Currently, there are little to no details and specifics about Starry Sky Valley revealed. So far, the only things confirmed are that HoYoverse has registered the trademark for the title with the Chinese government and that a new account on the video-sharing platform BiliBili has been created.

Beyond those, no other official information has been released or confirmed, which leaves a lot of room for speculation among waiting fans. Most people are wondering how the developer studio will infuse gacha mechanics into a relaxed game that focuses on social simulation in case it’s truly similar to Animal Crossing.

Truly worth waiting for

Overall, Starry Sky Valley seems to be far on the horizon. However, rumors are shaping it to be a title to anticipate, especially the fresh gameplay mechanics it’s said to be featuring. A far cry from typical action-packed HoYoverse titles, it’s expected to be more of a social simulation and interaction game.
