Update: And just like that, we already have a silouette for one of the Dream Friends:

Original: We now have confirmation that Nintendo and HAL Laboratory will introduce the next update for Kirby Star Allies sometime this summer. The news was just made known on the official Japanese Kirby Twitter account.

What can we expect from the next update? At the very least, new Dream Friends should be on the way. A number of characters were leaked last month through datamining.

The first major update for Kirby Star Allies was published shortly after launch in March. It was highlighted by the addition of new Dream Friends Marx, Gooey, and Rick & Kine & Coo.
