Summary

  • Hello Kitty Island Adventure received its first major update since launching on PC.
  • The patch introduces new quests, collectibles, and mechanics, among other novelties.
  • The update is scheduled to reach the Switch version of the game on May 22.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just experienced an exciting update on my Hello Kitty Island Adventure! This is the game’s first content release since it expanded beyond Apple platforms. The new version brings fresh features, quests, and enhancements, not to mention another enchanting corner of Hello Kitty Island Adventure for me to explore!

Originating from Colorado’s Sunblink Entertainment, the game titled Hello Kitty Island Adventure premiered on Apple Arcade in July 2023 as an exclusive offering. Later, it expanded to other platforms like the Nintendo Switch and PC, making its debut in late January 2025. Unfortunately, the versions released outside of Apple lacked certain content compared to the original, with Sunblink assuring that they would match the features at a later point.

Approximately three months after the initial release, the developer is now delivering on the pledged improvements for the PC version of “Hello Kitty Island Adventure”. Launched on April 29th, this update brings about enhancements across various game aspects, notably in gifting. With the latest changes, gifts now provide consistent friendship bonuses based on their heart rating – a higher number of hearts means a larger boost in friendships. This revised system simplifies the process of befriending visitors swiftly, while also ensuring efficient use of resources required for crafting gifts.

With the April 29 update, more people can visit “Hello Kitty Island Adventure” as Retsuko’s friends and colleagues, Pekkle and Keroppi’s companions, and Hello Kitty’s grandparents are added to the mix. A new feature, furniture stacking, has been introduced, offering a variety of choices such as placing smaller items on tables. This update also adjusts the daily reward system to be slightly more lenient; now, friendship Island pick-ups can accumulate for up to three days, enabling players to manage their time more freely without missing out on any rewards.

The update also includes an exciting addition – Blizzard Peak and Snow Village, broadening the realm of Hello Kitty Island Adventure. This new icy region offers both challenges through puzzles and enticing rewards. Additionally, the update introduces Sparkles, new collectibles that can be discovered throughout Friendship Island. Players can exchange these Sparkles for game tickets, enabling them to participate in mini-games without any interruptions or delays. Furthermore, the update offers fresh furnishings and the opportunity to invite a friend directly from the in-game tablet, along with numerous other enhancements.

The April 2025 update for “Hello Kitty Island Adventure” can be found exclusively on Steam at the moment. As per a recent announcement on Sunblink’s Discord server, the Nintendo Switch edition of the game will get this update on May 22nd. Looking ahead, “Hello Kitty Island Adventure” is also intended to roll out for PS4 and PS5 by the end of 2025; however, specific release dates for these PlayStation versions have yet to be confirmed.
