Hello Kitty Island Adventure getting “Friends, Furniture, and Frozen Peaks” update
May 1: Sunblink has announced that Hello Kitty Island Adventure will be getting its first major content update. The update is titled “Friends, Furniture, and Frozen Peaks” and is due out on May 22, 2025.
This new update will add an expansion to snowy areas, new cosmetics, new mechanics for furniture, the ability to call friends, and more as the title of the update fittingly suggests.
Here’s the full rundown of what this update will be bringing:
Players can explore expansions to Icy Peak (Blizzard Peak and Snow Village), discover new weather and flowers, and enjoy tons of story and cosmetics– from bestie quests to character furniture sets. This free update also includes fan-requested features like Furniture Stacking (placing multiple items on tables, mannequins, and even on top of other furniture, as well as rugs on floors, and more) and Call Friend (so you can companion with your Sanrio friends from anywhere).
This update is included in everyone’s game, so don’t hesitate to jump in and explore!
