Heartopia developer XD Games has delivered the news anyone who tried out the life sim game had been waiting for. The Animal Crossing-like cozy multiplayer game will finally arrive on January 7 across Android, iOS, and PC – with one caveat.
The Steam version won’t actually launch on that date, and will instead go live at some other point in the future. You will be able to play it on PC through TapTap, which is the same emulator you may be familiar with from beta.
Pre-registration is open on the official website for all platforms. If you throw in your email address, you’ll receive a bundle of in-game items at launch. You’ll get 4,000 Gold, 20 Wishing Stars, 400 Moonlight Crystal, and 60 Exhibition Passes.
Interestingly, XD Games isn’t saying what you can expect from the launch build – in terms of content – just yet. Those details will be revealed closer to the January launch, so perhaps expect them in the first few days of the year.
If you created a character in either (or both) of the recent closed beta tests, you’ll also receive the Blueberry Crossbody Bag in-game cosmetic. If you made it to level 18 in either test, you’ll also get the Star Mascot Head cosmetic. Both items will be available to claim at launch.
We’ve spent a lot of time playing the game’s recent tests, and we’ve put together some early guides on how to get Roaming Oak Timber, how to unlock and upgrade hobbies and more. We also have a few cooking recipes to share with you.
