Overview
- Sunblink and Sanrio announced the Tea Garden DLC, which will arrive on August 6, 2026, as a paid add-on for Steam, Nintendo Switch (including Switch 2) and PS5 and as a free update for Apple Arcade users.
- The pack adds more than 15 new narrative quests set in Merry Meadows that center on a regency‑style Tea Garden Ball and involve characters such as Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco, Kuromi, and Chococat.
- Tea Garden focuses on customization rather than new regions, bringing 15 clothing items with roughly 300 variants, over 30 new NPC outfits, tea‑party furniture like gazebos and hedge mazes, and cabin decoration options.
- Gameplay additions include two new food stations called the Teapot and the Tiered Tray and 38 new recipes for tea, scones, sandwiches and similar treats, all aimed at tea‑party mechanics.
- Reporting indicates a $9.99 price for non‑Apple Arcade platforms, positioning Tea Garden as a smaller, lower‑priced drop compared with past paid expansions and signaling a move toward bite‑sized paid content to sustain player engagement.
