Nintendo will be releasing an update for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer in Japan next month. Once applied, players will be able to take advantage of new network functions.

It’s not yet known when the update will be available in the west, though we have several weeks to go before Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer launches overseas in any case.
