Gamescom 2026

Added Booth Partners section and updated rewards and unannounced-status wording from the August 10 booth guide
Petit Planet is scheduled to make its international exhibition debut at gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany, where the public will be able to play the game for the first time outside a closed beta. The publisher announced the plan on July 17, 2026, as part of its full show lineup.
gamescom 2026 runs from August 26 to 30, 2026 at Koelnmesse in Cologne. Petit Planet occupies a dedicated exhibition zone inside the publisher's booth in Hall 6.1, Booth B030, a roughly 660 square metre space shared with the publisher's other titles. A separate business-area presence is set up at Booth B051 in Hall 4.2.
The Petit Planet area runs under the theme "Connect the Vibe", and its set design is built around the Starsea. Visitors get a hands-on PC demo rather than a video presentation.
The demo casts players as a Planet Tender, the same role the game uses in its own framing. Announced demo activities cover farming, building, exploring the Starsea, and socialising with the fuzzy Neighbors who live alongside the player.

The booth guide published on August 10, 2026 thanked four technology and hardware partners for supporting the Petit Planet exhibition space: NVIDIA, Antom (Ant International), iBUYPOWER, and DJI. Their involvement covers the hardware and on-site technology behind the playable stations rather than any in-game content.
A fuller booth guide published on August 10, 2026 confirmed the show dates, the hall and booth number, and the on-floor activity set, but it added no release information. No release date for Petit Planet has been given, and the show appearance is not tied to any dated launch or beta window. The publisher has said that further game news, demo details, and exhibition event information will follow closer to the show.
