Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise DLC

Nintendo has announced Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise, paid DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you pick up the new Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass bundle, you can obtain the content at no extra cost.

The premise of the DLC is that you’ll assist Paradise Planning, a resort developer, in designing vacation homes. You’ll be in charge of coordinating dream lifestyles for characters. You’ll ultimately want to help others acquire their dream vacation homes.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be getting a new 2.0 update on November 5, Nintendo has announced. It will be the last major update for the game.

As was teased in the September 2021 Nintendo Direct, The Roost will be added to the game. Players can relax in the cafe with Brewster who will be more than happy to serve you a cup of coffee. Other residents may appear as well. You can invite characters of your choosing by scanning Animal Crossing amiibo figures and cards, and some may bring along company. Multiple players can visit at the same time.


Animal Crossing New Horizons Direct live stream

Today’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct will be starting in an hour, and we’ve got a live stream ready for the proceedings. It will kick off at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe.

During the broadcast, Nintendo will be detailing upcoming content planned for the Switch title. This was first teased during the most recent general Nintendo Direct in September. We’ve thus far gotten a tease of The Roost, but not much else is known beyond that.

Atlus has published another demon trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V, and this time we have a look at the creature known as Setanta. It has shown up in a variety of games throughout the series, including Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Shin Megami Tensei IV, Persona 4, Persona 5, Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, and much more.

The Megami Tensei Wiki has a little bit of extra information about Setanta. Read more about the demon below.
