Hello Kitty Island Adventure is the Sanrio answer to Animal Crossing, but with a bit more of a live service model. Since it arrived on PC and Nintendo Switch, the cozy Hello Kitty game has hosted several events and received a few major updates. Now, fans have another opportunity to grab a physical copy of the beloved game. A new Hello Kitty Island Adventure Gift Box collection has been revealed, and it might be the best version yet. Not only that, but Sunblink has confirmed more options for physical copies of HKIA, including the game’s release on a new platform – PlayStation consoles!

This isn’t the first time Hello Kitty Island Adventure has gotten a physical release. There’s already a physical version for the Nintendo Switch, but it is only the Deluxe Edition. Now, Sunblink has revealed a new lineup of Hello Kitty Island Adventure physical editions, including a Physical Standard Edition for Nintendo Switch. But it gets even better. For those who have a PS4 or PS5 at home, Sunblink has also confirmed that Hello Kitty Island Adventure will be coming to the Sony platform later this year. There will be a new Standard Physical Edition of the game to celebrate.

The new physical editions of Hello Kitty Island Adventure will release on August 29th in North America, Europe, and Asia. For the Standard Edition on PlayStation or Switch, you’re looking at $39.99. The Deluxe Edition is also still available for Switch and is priced at $49.99. It’s unclear whether a physical version of the Deluxe Edition is planned for PlayStation. Along with these new, more economical options to buy Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Sunblink is releasing a collector’s edition style Gift Box 1 More edition, and it’s packed with Sanrio goodies.
