The rise of the VTuber scene has been interesting to watch, and Hololive has been at the heart of the movement. The Japanese agency has gone from strength to strength, and that has seen its expansion into the video game industry as well through its Holo Indie label, where indie developers can create games within the ecosystem. For those seeking an Animal Crossing-style experience, they should look out for the newly announced Petit Holo Village
At the recently concluded Hololive Super Expo 2025, Hololive officially announced the game with a debut trailer, showcasing chibi-style versions of Hololive characters living in a growing village. Players can engage in various activities, including cleaning, farming, and even combat.
The game also embraces the idea of player agency and customisation, allowing players to create and decorate their homes with various furniture items. Additionally, multiplayer features will be available, ensuring players can connect with each other and likely create a community akin to the invested players of Animal Crossing.
Several Hololive talents have already been confirmed to appear in the game, including Pekora, Marine, Korone, Okayu, AZKi, Shion, and Gura. The confirmation of Gura’s presence is particularly notable, as it reinforces that the game will include English language support upon release, opening up the game to more of the world.
Details regarding distribution methods or the character recruitment system remain unclear for now. However, Petit Holo Village is scheduled for release in late 2025, exclusively for PC. Fans of Hololive and cosy life simulation games will definitely want to keep an eye out for this title.
