Animal Crossing: Nౠew Horizons is still keeping plenty of Switch fans happy as they go about planting and weeding and decorating. And the game has been well suppoಌrted by Nintendo. But New Horizons is now nearly two years old and it seems like it is getting its last major update.
Nintendo has confirmed the upcoming expansion Happy Home Paradise is the "first and only" paid DLC, in . It's somewhat of a full stopper on things.
"It is a major update♏ to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and offers a distinguishing and different gameplay experience," Nintendo said in its statement. "Therefore, it made sense to include it as the first and only DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons."
The DLC launches on November 5 alongside some free updates to the main game. However, these updates will be t🗹he "last major free content update," according to Nintendo. "We hope that players will continue enjoying their island life in real time and throughout the changing seaso🀅ns," Nintendo added.
The Happy Home Paradise DLC gives players the chance to design homes for villagers with a deserted island theme. There will be many new interior and exterior home design options, much like Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer 🌠on the 3DS.
"Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise introduces a new gameplay experience in which the player joins the Paradise Planning team 🔴and helps make their client’s dream resort home become a reality," Nintendo told IGN.
The upcoming last major update (sad face) Animal Crossing: New Horizons update 2.0 is a big one. It adds Brewster and his coffee shop, The Roost, and adds Kapp'n and mystery island boat tours, Gyroids, improvements to Harv's island, cooking and farming mechanics, and many additional smaller and quality of life updates. Since it is the last "major" update, this doesn't rule out smaller updates, such as seasonal items and events, in the future.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a huge success for Nintendo, 🐟selling more than 33 million copies worldwide and driving sales of the Nintendo Switch in ꦕmany territories, so much so that some countries saw stocks of the console run low especially as demand was high over pandemic-related lockdowns.
