There’s a Hello Kitty Island Adventure update on the horizon, and that means new avatar customization options, the My Sweet Piano debut, and a new event. 1.3 arrives on November 17, 2023.
While Apple announced it, there are also details at the official Discord. As usual, the story will continue. There will be storyline quests, some mission involving a Guiding Light, and a Give & Gather Celebration to tie in with Thanksgiving and other seasonal holidays.
However, there will also be Hello Kitty Island Adventure character additions like My Sweet Piano, visitors, and avatar customization options. My Sweet Piano will be a resident, rather than a visitor, which means the player will get to build up a friendship with her. The new avatar type wasn’t announced, but all existing ones are based on animals and creatures like birds, cats, and dogs. There will also be four more visitors, though they weren’t named.
Here are the official initial patch notes for the Hello Kitty Island Adventure update for November 17, 2023 from the Discord Announcements channel:
