Stepping away from our extensive Gamescom Opening Night Live coverage of major announcements and trailers, we shift to something more soothing and adorable. That's right, it's time for Sanrio mascot fun as Hello Kitty Island Adventure welcomes students back to school with the new Scholastic Celebration.
As anticipated, the Scholastic Celebration (starting August 24th) aligns with the return to school for most students. While many are heading back to their classrooms, the Sanrio characters are diving into various athletic activities while sporting stylish academic-themed outfits.
If you're looking for broader entertainment, the Jam Jamboree is an excellent alternative. Launching on September 12th, it offers a baker's dozen of mini-games, delightful surprises, berry-themed rewards, and of course, fresh outfits to dress up your favorite mascots.

These events aren't limited to specific platforms—Apple Arcade players can enjoy them alongside a major content expansion. Also arriving on September 12th, version 2.8, Sea of Wonder, delivers plenty of nautical adventures to cap off the summer season.
Join Badtz-maru on fishing quests, experiment with new fishing lures, and compete in the exciting Fishing Derby for seasonal prizes. Meet the new Rodent species, including mice, chipmunks, and hamsters, and welcome the OTM Girls as seasonal visitors to Friendship Island.
