📋

Overview

Heartopia (global version) and 《心动小镇》 (Chinese version) share core gameplay but have distinct release timelines. The Chinese version launched publicly on July 17, 2024, with frequent updates documented primarily via the App Store and TapTap.

The global version completed its pre-release phase as of December 27, 2025, with Closed Beta Tests (CBTs) featuring data wipes and limited public patch notes. Full global launch occurred on January 8, 2026 across PC, iOS, and Android.

Note: Global versions align with Chinese post-launch, but CBTs focused on testing core features like building, hobbies, and multiplayer without persistent progress.
