JNG Studio revealed its upcoming cross-platform social party game, Totopia, at the 2026 ID@Xbox Showcase. It’s a cosy life sim with bright, anime-inspired visuals and a vibrant world. There’s also platforming and multiplayer elements.
I know what you’re thinking. Totopia sounds a lot like the recently released Heartopia, right? Yeah, it’s not just the name that’s common between the two games. Both titles draw heavy inspiration from Animal Crossing, featuring similar aesthetics and gameplay.
Cross-platform social party game Totopia will launch its first playtest soon!
JNG Studio has confirmed that the first playtest, called the Mic Check Playtest, will run from May 7th to May 21st, 2026. Sign-ups are already open, so anyone curious can opt in now and wait for access to roll out when the test goes live.
Totopia leans heavily into freedom. It drops you into a colourful world populated by creatures called Atomons. There are tons of choices available for you. You might spend time tackling platforming challenges and boss fights that threaten the world. Or you could focus on building up Pulse Avenue into a stylish district and just hang out with friends.
An all-purpose party hub, the game encourages you to jump between roles depending on your mood. You can compete in mini-games, team up for co-op challenges, or just do more relaxed activities like fishing.
Customisation lets you tweak your look with a wide range of outfits and styles. The maps bring a lot of variety as well, with more than 100 maps covering everything from races and brawls to co-op challenges. On that note, catch a glimpse of the game below.
The plan is to release Totopia across Android, iOS, PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Epic. The full launch is currently targeted for Q2 2027. The listing is up on Steam, and you can follow updates on the official X account in the meantime.
