Nintendo Releases More Details About The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise DLC

While Animal Crossing: New Horizons' free update dropped by surprise almost two days early, it's looking like the $25 Happy Home Paradise DLC is sticking to its original release date of November 5. While players wait to join the Paradise Planning team, Nintendo is dropping more details about the update on the official Animal Crossing Twitter account.

The Happy Home Paradise expansion is designed after Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, a spin-off game for the Nintendo 3DS. It lets players join otter Lottie's Paraside Planning team, where they can help clients design their perfect holiday homes.

The latest tweets on the official Animal Crossing account have been from Lottie's perspective, introducing players to some of the new locations they'll encounter in the Happy Home Paradise DLC.

The first one shown off is the Paradise Planning office, which includes a downstairs area with a gift shop and reception, and an upstairs room for employees including lockers, a hammock, and space to change into a uniform. The screenshots show a glimpse at some of the rare furniture that'll be available to purchase at Paradise Planning, though these items are expected to rotate.

A later tweet shows the beach on the Paradise Planning island, which is described both as a place to meet potential new clients, and as a way to relax when off-duty.

The Happy Home Paradise DLC costs $25 from the Nintendo eShop. It's available for pre-loading now, for a November 5 release.
