Animal Crossing: Happy Room Officially Announced

Despite releasing Version 3.0 earlier this year alongside the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 port, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has gone from hero to zero since its launch back in 2020. Arriving at the very start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it became a lifeline for its millions of users, allowing them to stay in touch and play with friends despite being confined to their homes.

As a result, Animal Crossing: New Horizons became the best-selling Animal Crossing title of all time, marking itself as the second best-selling Nintendo Switch game and selling over 47 million copies worldwide.

However, with just a brief DLC titled Happy Home Paradise releasing back in 2021, Nintendo has seemingly left the most recent Animal Crossing entry in the dust with no further content updates or events. Additionally, with contending social simulation games launching, such as Pokopia earlier this year, many have left their beautifully curated islands in New Horizons and moved on.

Whilst Nintendo may be reluctant to offer new and exciting content to the Animal Crossing franchise, other creators are not and now, fans can look forward to six new Animal Crossing Happy Room Sets.

Courtesy of Re-Ment, this marks the second wave of Happy Room sets dedicated to the Animal Crossing universe. Featuring different characters from the series, including some fan-favorites, the six sets will go on sale in Japan for 1,500円 ($9.20) this November. As always, these sets may only be available to purchase in Japan, but searching for sites that ship worldwide may just be your best bet here whilst we wait for news of them launching across other regions. Luckily, with the first wave of releases later arriving on Amazon, we can assume the same will happen here.

By purchasing a full box, you will guarantee all six versions of the new Happy Room sets. First, however, you may be wondering what they are. Well, each box comes alongside a small diorama featuring an Animal Crossing character complete with some pieces of furniture. For this latest release, you may receive Tom Nook in the Resident Services building, Blathers in the museum, Mable in the Able Sisters’ shop, Shino in a Japanese-style room, Dom in a backyard themed room, and Bunnie in a casual and calmly designed room.

As with any other diorama, you can maneuver the characters and furniture to your liking, and as mentioned, purchasing a full box could see you walk away with all the characters and furniture, allowing you to create a fully-fledged home.

The brand-new Animal Crossing Happy Room Sets will launch in Japan in November 2026, and will most likely arrive on Amazon worldwide soon after. So, if you are a fan of the beloved Nintendo franchise and want to display it in style, make sure to check out this latest release.
