HoYoVerse has kicked off the final beta test for Petit Planet, confirming new content arriving before the game's Winter 2026 debut. The update brings a Winter season that introduces snow and new materials once players reach Luca Arbor level 9.

Three new Neighbor characters join the game: Heyu, Manman, and Tika. Two additional Neighbors, Medowlyn and Rebella, are tied to the Season of Snowfall storyline, which unlocks after completing "Melody of the Conch."

Quality-of-life improvements address player requests. Batch cooking lets players select how many of a recipe to make at once, with the beta showing a player crafting five Aromatic Fruit Teas simultaneously. Hair customization is now possible using flowers, and flower crossbreeding expands styling options.

The beta also adds new Vignettes in the Blueprints section. These function similarly to Genshin Impact's Serenitea Pot Furnishing Sets, automatically arranging decorative setups when players collect all associated components.

The Petit Planet Final Beta Test is currently live on PC and mobile devices.
