Animal Crossing: New Horizons' new DLC - Happy Home Paradise - will cost players $24.99 USD, and from what has been shown so far it definitely looks like it's worth the money.īetween the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 2.0 update and the paid Happy Home Paradise DLC, players will be getting lots of new content, new villagers, new customization tools, and new designs to mess around with.

It's no surprise that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is now offering paid DLC, especially after Pokémon Sword & Shield saw success with The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. Continually adding extra features into a game post-release for free is clearly beneficial for the players, but in a game which doesn't offer microtransactions or pay-to-win elements, the game's developers still need to be compensated for their work. Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 2.0 adds a lot of features players have been asking for since the game's launch in 2020, and a recent Animal Crossing Direct made it clear that Nintendo has further plans for the world of New Horizons - players just will have to pay a little extra to enjoy it.

Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons isn't dead yet, although the last major free update is coming soon.
