Nintendo has confirmed to IGN that Animal Crossing: New Horizons' version 2.0 update and its Happy Home Paradise paid DLC will be the final major updates to the game that has sold over 33 million copies since its launch in March 2020.
Nintendo shared the news with IGN in a presentation for today's Animal Crossing Direct, where it revealed that the version 2.0 update and Happy Home Paradise DLC will both be available on November 5, 2021. Following that date, Nintendo says it will only be supporting the game with small changes.
Considering the free Version 2.0 update brings with it Brewster and his coffee shop The Roost, other fan-favorite villagers, Gyroids, cooking, Island Ordinances, and more alongside Happy Home Paradise's promise of letting you design villager's dream homes on a new archipelago, it is leaving players a ton of new ways to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
That being said, Happy Home Paradise is the first and only major paid DLC expansion for the second-best-selling Nintendo Switch game behind Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's 37.08 million. Speaking of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, that game is one that Nintendo released no paid DLC for, despite the original Mario Kart 8 getting some during its Wii U days.
While Animal Crossing: New Horizons may not be getting any more big updates, that doesn't mean the game is anywhere near going away. The game will undoubtedly be played and loved for many years to come, and these new additions will be another big reason why.
The Happy Home Paradise DLC takes place in an archipelago where the company Paradise Planning calls home. Villagers will visit and ask players to help them build their dream home. They also usually have a certain theme, with some loving mushrooms, arcades, or Teddy Bears.
It's then up to you to choose the proper island, place the required furniture and items from the clients, and then continue to design and build out the interior and exterior of the home to make it something special.
New Horizons' Version 2.0 update will be free to all players and the Happy Home Paradise DLC will cost $24.99. However, it is also available as part of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
