While Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ free update dropped by surprise almost two days early, it’s looking like the $25 Happy Home Paradise DLC is sticking to its original release date of November 5. While players wait to join the Paradise Planning team, Nintendo is dropping more details about the update on the official Animal Crossing Twitter account.
The Happy Home Paradise expansion is designed after Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, a spin-off game for the Nintendo 3DS. It lets players join otter Lottie’s Paraside Planning team, where they can help clients design their perfect holiday homes.
The latest tweets on the official Animal Crossing account have been from Lottie’s perspective, introducing players to some of the new locations they’ll encounter in the Happy Home Paradise DLC.
The first one shown off is the Paradise Planning office, which includes a downstairs area with a gift shop and reception, and an upstairs room for employees including lockers, a hammock, and space to change into a uniform. The screenshots show a glimpse at some of the rare furniture that’ll be available to purchase at Paradise Planning, though these items are expected to rotate.

Hi, everyone! It's Lottie again, and today I'm showing off the Paradise Planning office. Our gift shop and reception area are on the first floor, and there's a lovely patio outside where I meet with clients. I find that the views help inspire vacation-home dreams! pic.twitter.com/xNeqp9fUvr— Isabelle (@animalcrossing) November 2, 2021

We also have a second floor for employees only, where you can change into your work uniform or take a break. I encourage everyone to take advantage of the space and work at their own pace! Oh, I hope everyone takes that seriously even though it was a cute rhyme… pic.twitter.com/UcWcBF4Qvn— Isabelle (@animalcrossing) November 2, 2021
A later tweet shows the beach on the Paradise Planning island, which is described both as a place to meet potential new clients, and as a way to relax when off-duty.

Hello again! I've got more to share about Paradise Planning and our island, so let's start at the beach! I find that the folks there are often interested in their own vacation homes, so it's a great spot to meet new clients…and take a dip when you're off duty. pic.twitter.com/pah6IlBXWK— Isabelle (@animalcrossing) November 3, 2021
The Happy Home Paradise DLC costs $25 from the Nintendo eShop. It’s available for pre-loading now, for a November 5 release.
