Nintendo will introduce many new building options, such as adjusting a room’s size and creating partition walls and pillars to divide up space.

Nintendo

You will also be able to design schools, restaurants, and even hospitals!

Nintendo

You can also adjust the lighting and soundscape of a room and polish all of the items within it to unlock some special effects.

Nintendo

Eventually, you’ll even be able to revisit and redesign vacation homes you’ve worked on and even give those characters roommates.

Nintendo

You can share your designs and visit vacation homes that others designed on the Happy Home Network.

All of the interior design features Happy Home Paradise introduces will also be usable on your original New Horizons island.

Nintendo

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise will be released on November 5, 2021.
