The next batch of Desktop Mate DLC will contain more characters than usual, as Hello Kitty isn’t the only Sanrio mascot who will appear. Over the last four days since her reveal, four additional icons were teased on the application’s social media account. This would be the largest number of characters to join the game so far, as previous add-on drops tended to only add between one and two new options to the game.
Like Hello Kitty, all of the other Sanrio Desktop Mate DLC character reveals involved silhouettes of the mascots with a brief teaser about their identity. Since the shadows are fairly obvious and the Sanrio copyright is on each one, their identities are incredibly obvious. We still don’t know if they will all be bundled together in one add-on, with people able to see them randomly appear, or if there will be a separate purchase for each character.
Here’s the full list of all confirmed Sanrio Desktop Mate DLC characters so far.
- Cinnamoroll
- Hello Kitty
- My Melody
- Pochacco
- Pompompurin
And here’s a gallery of all of the silhouettes.
As a reminder, the Desktop Mate app allows characters to appear on your PC desktop as you work. You can also interact with them. Since its launch, Vocaloids and video game characters appeared as DLC. With the exception of the $7.49 Yukkuri Reimu Touhou Project add-on, each piece has cost $14.99.
Desktop Mate is available on Steam.
