Heartopia Global Launch in 2026: A Slow‑Life Simulation Game for SEA Audiences
Heartopia Goes Global in 2026
A New Slow‑Life Simulation Experience for Southeast Asia and Beyond
Heartopia, a soothing slow‑life simulation game, is officially set to launch globally on mobile and PC platforms in early 2026. At the same time, the game is making its debut appearance at Tokyo Game Show 2025, introducing its vision and features to gamers around the world.
What Is Heartopia?
In Heartopia, players take on the role of a developer who, along with 11 others, is drawn through the currents of time and space to an enchanting island full of mystery and brightness. You begin with your very own private plot where you can freely design and build your dream home in a charming city setting.
From gathering construction materials and laying bricks, to painting walls and furnishing both interiors and exteriors, every detail is under your control. Choose colors, arrange tables, chairs, chandeliers, appliances, and decorative touches precisely to your taste. At its heart, Heartopia offers a deeply personalized life-building experience.
But this is not just a sandbox. Players can unlock quests, take on hobbies like cooking, gardening, fishing, catching insects, and birdwatching. You can host grand parties in your private mansion, visit friends or neighbors, match outfits and compete in beauty contests, and slowly unveil the island’s hidden lore. Spend quiet afternoons relaxing among scenic views or playing with your pets — it’s all part of the Harmony that Heartopia promises.
Milestones & Tokyo Game Show 2025
Since its launch in China on July 17, 2024, Heartopia has already surpassed 40 million downloads, signaling strong demand and popularity.
