Game developer Rebecca Heineman has died after being diagnosed with cancer last month. The news was shared to Bluesky by Heineman’s friend, Heidi McDonald, while the most recent post on Heineman’s GoFundMe is a goodbye message stating that her health was rapidly deteriorating, and she was entering palliative care.

It’s announcement after announcement with HoYoverse lately, and just on the heels of its Honkai: Nexus Anima reveal, the publisher has introduced Petit Planet.
