Massive update and paid DLC coming to ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’

A major update is coming to “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” on Nov. 5. In a video presentation Friday, Nintendo announced it will add more item storage, a permanent home for the game’s visiting merchants and the return of several characters from the series among other new content. Paid downloadable content called “Happy Home Paradise,” a $25 expansion that harks back to the franchise’s sandbox-style entry, “Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer,” will also roll out the same day alongside a new series of amiibo cards that unlock new villagers.

The update, which will be the last major free content update for “New Horizons,” includes a new quest that adds the Roost, a cafe run by the long-anticipated, fan-favorite character, Brewster, to the museum. There you can drink coffee with your island’s villagers, other players or characters that you invite using compatible amiibo cards.
