Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

Last year, players could welcome a character from the Monster Hunter series in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. It was a Felyne, who came with a request: if you accepted it, you could get various Monster Hunter-themed items. Good news for players who missed this collaboration DLC: it will be once again available from March 1st (9AM) to March 31st (11.59PM), in Japan!

Unfortunately, we don’t know if/when it will be available again in Europe and North America.
