In a new Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct video today, Nintendo announced a series of new additions. The first set of new additions will be through a free update on November 5, 2021. These free features include characters from the Animal Crossing series, such as Brewster, who will open a café on the second floor of the museum, and Kapp’n, who will take you to different islands with his boat; newly opened shops in the plaza on Harv’s Island, including Katrina’s fortune-telling shop; the introduction of cooking and growing vegetables; and a host of other customizations and features.
In addition to the free update on November 5th, Nintendo also revealed details and footage for paid download content, Happy Home Paradise. In this paid DLC, you’ll have the chance to join Lottie and the Paradise Planning team. In your new role, you’ll travel to a chain of charming islands where you can design vacation homes, decorate island facilities – like a school and a restaurant – and discover new ways to create and personalize as you gain experience designing dream vacation homes for your clients.
