Hello Kitty Island Adventure has recieved its biggest update yet, with a whole new world and character now available. Starting from today, players will be able to head off Friendship Island entirely, to visit the new world of City Town, an urban landscape filled with new locations and discoveries. Here, players will be able to befriend Usahana, a colourful little bunny girl, and work towards renovating their very own Imagination Cafe.
This is the largest realm expansion for the game so far, and should provide plenty of opportunity to dive back in, particularly for lapsed players. City Town looks absolutely delightful, and should make for a great new location to explore.
You can see glimpses of its cutesy colours and scenery in a launch trailer for the game’s new update:

In addition to the arrival of City Town, the latest Hello Kitty Island Adventure update also introduces the “Jam Jamboree” event. This entails collecting Jam Jars around Friendship Island, and exchanging them for “country” and “berry” decor to decorate your surrounds.
As announced, these features will be available in the already-available Apple Arcade version of the game, and will be included with the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and PC versions arriving in 2025.
