Hello Kitty Island Adventure has always been about cozy exploration and friendship, and its latest expansion invites players to a party unlike any other. The Tea Garden DLC is the third paid content pack for the beloved life sim, following Wheatflour Wonderland and City Town. Released on August 6, 2026, this expansion trades the larger new areas of its predecessors for a deep dive into Regency-era elegance and community celebration.
The central mystery is delightfully simple: someone is throwing the most exclusive ball of the season, and everyone’s invited—but no one knows who the host is. Your task is to help Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco, Kuromi, Chococat, and other friends prepare for the grand event.
Here is everything included in the Tea Garden DLC. All the new recipes, quests, furniture sets and more.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is available on the PlayStation 4|5, Nintendo Switch, PC – Steam and the App Store for Mac.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is on Apple Arcade. Apple Arcade is $6.99 USD/month for 200+ games, and comes with no ads, no in-app purchases, the ability to play online or offline, as well as being able to share your subscription with up to five family members.
