Hello Kitty Island Adventure invites you to a lovely tea party with bows, bonnets, and even romance
  • More than 15 new narrative quests
  • Over 300 clothing variants
  • New tea-themed food stations

I absolutely love tea, so I'm torn between getting excited about Hello Kitty Island Adventure's latest Tea Garden update and trying to stay indignant because my beloved Gudetama doesn't seem to be on it (it's no longer the Month of Meh, I suppose). I know I'm not going to be able to resist the cosy life sim's charm though, eventually, because Sunblink and Sanrio seem to know exactly what they're doing.

The Tea Garden DLC, in particular, will have you discovering more than 15 fresh narrative quests, with everything from romance to mischief. Of course, since it's a tea party, expect a touch of elegance with some regency-inspired outfits, and plenty of tea-themed cosmetics to marvel at.

Launching on August 6th, the DLC will set you back by $9.99 on consoles but will be integrated into Apple Arcade if you're on the subscription service, which is just lovely. You get to dress up your Sanrio pals with more than 300 different clothing variants filled with bows and bonnets, plus explore the new Teapot and Tiered Tray food stations.

So if you've been looking for new ways to interact with Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco, Kuromi, and Chococat, the upcoming update isn't one to miss. Oh, and don't forget that the Friendship Festival's 50s-inspired cosmetics are still available until August 17th!
