Free update introduces aquatic building mechanics and new town this month

The release comes as a free content drop for existing owners of the title. Players can access the new features without purchasing additional software or a separate pass.

The expansion includes a new town called Bubbly Basin where players can explore and complete objectives. The update also adds new outfits and furniture items to customize player characters and their homes.

Nintendo plans a second paid expansion for late 2026 that will add further features to the game. An Expansion Pass covering all three planned updates is available now for those who want to secure future content in advance.

This update follows previous content drops that have expanded the base game since its launch. The August release focuses on aquatic building mechanics while maintaining the core simulation gameplay loop.
