Fans of virtual YouTubers and cozy gaming have a new date to circle on their calendars. CCMC Co., Ltd. Has officially confirmed the release date for holoVillage: Our Cozy Days, a rural life simulator featuring the popular talents of hololive Production. The title is set to launch globally on PC via Steam on April 24 at 17:00 JST (08:00 UTC) according to official release details.
Published under the Holo Indie brand—a label dedicated to supporting secondary creation games based on hololive IP—the game, also referred to in some regions as “Petit holoVillage: Sword, Shop, and Country Life,” promises a blend of relaxation and light adventure. Players will interact with a massive cast of over 40 hololive talents, all reimagined as adorable “chibi” versions of themselves, to build a community and explore a peaceful countryside.
The gameplay loop centers on the “slow life” philosophy, allowing players to shape their own experience through farming, fishing, and crafting. However, the experience extends beyond the village borders, offering a layer of excitement for those seeking more than just gardening. The integration of dungeon exploration and boss battles ensures that the title appeals to both casual simulation fans and those looking for a touch of action-RPG mechanics.
A Comprehensive Rural Simulation with hololive Talents
At its core, holoVillage: Our Cozy Days is designed as a sanctuary for fans to spend time with their favorite virtual personalities. The game emphasizes a low-stress environment where players can engage in various homesteading activities. According to the official Steam store page, the primary activities include farming, fishing, mining, crafting, and decorating a personal home.
The depth of the simulation is highlighted by the ability to open and manage shops, using materials gathered from the environment to create items for trade. This economic layer allows players to interact with the village ecosystem and the resident VTubers in a more dynamic way, moving beyond simple conversation to active collaboration and commerce.
The roster of characters is particularly extensive. Japanese press releases indicate that more than 40 talents will appear in the game. Verified sightings in promotional materials and screenshots include a diverse range of members from across the global hololive branches. This includes Japanese members and staff such as Usada Pekora, Ookami Mio, and Harusaki Nodoka. The English-speaking audience will see representatives like Takanashi Kiara, Fuwawa & Mococo Abyssgard, and even Gawr Gura. The game features Ckia, the “younger sister” persona of Kaela Kovalskia from hololive Indonesia.
Balancing Relaxation with Dungeon Exploration
Even as the “cozy” aspect of the title is prominent, the developers have integrated a combat system to provide variety. Once players venture outside the safety of the village, they will encounter dungeons populated by enemies and powerful bosses. This shift in gameplay from peaceful farming to active combat creates a rhythmic contrast, allowing players to alternate between the thrill of the hunt and the serenity of home improvement.
This duality is reflected in the game’s alternative title, “Sword, Shop, and Country Life,” which explicitly points to the three pillars of the experience: combat (sword), commerce (shop), and simulation (country life). The chibi art style maintains a consistent, cute aesthetic across both the peaceful village and the dangerous dungeons, ensuring that the transition between gameplay modes feels seamless.

The Significance of the Holo Indie Brand
The release of holoVillage: Our Cozy Days is a significant milestone for the Holo Indie publishing brand. By providing a formal pathway for secondary creation games, hololive Production is effectively bridging the gap between fan-made content and professional distribution. This allows creators to bring their visions to a global audience via platforms like Steam while maintaining the integrity of the hololive IP.
For the players, this means a higher standard of polish and official support for games that celebrate the community’s favorite personalities. The inclusion of a wide array of talents—including those who have graduated from the agency—suggests a desire to create a comprehensive “digital museum” of the hololive experience, where fans can enjoy the company of their favorite VTubers regardless of their current professional status.
Release Logistics and Availability
The game is developed by CCMC Co., Ltd. And will be available exclusively on PC. To ensure the widest possible reach, the game will support both English and Japanese languages. The global launch is synchronized for April 24, with the specific start time set for 17:00 JST.
Interested players can currently find the title on the Steam store, where they can add it to their wishlists to receive notifications regarding the launch. The latest trailers have already begun showcasing actual in-game footage, giving a glimpse of the chibi character interactions and the lush environment of the rural village.
With the official release date now locked in for April 24, the next major checkpoint for the community will be the actual launch of the game on Steam. Fans are encouraged to monitor the official Steam page and Holo Indie announcements for any final pre-launch updates or system requirement details.
