Returning characters, events and more
Nintendo is fully on the Update Train as of late, with a big Mario Maker freshening up announced yesterday. Well, the company revealed another one, and this time for their current biggest game in the world.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is launching a Spring update shortly that includes a slew of new and returning things.
Firstly, popular characters Redd and Leif will show up. Redd sells furniture & artwork — sometimes counterfeit — that players will have access to. Players can even donate the artwork to the museum in a new wing. Leif, the nature-loving sloth, will open up shop to sell shrubs, flowers and veggies.
The game will also receive a season pass of sorts, but for free. Here are Nintendo’s notes on what’s coming up:
- Nature Day (April 23-May 4) – During the Nature Day period, special Nook Miles challenges will be available that focus on nature-inspired goals, such as planting trees and watering flowers.
- May Day Tour (May 1-7) – In the first week of May, players can use a one-time May Day Ticket at the island airport to head out on a limited-time tour to an island that looks different than the usual mystery island tours. A special visitor who looks familiar might also be there…
- International Museum Day (May 18-31) – To celebrate International Museum Day, players can take part in a Stamp Rally. After receiving a special stamp card, players can enjoy viewing fish, insects and fossils while collecting stamps at the various museum exhibits to earn an in-game reward.
- Wedding Season (June 1-30) – During a nuptial-themed June, players can visit Harvey’s island to meet the married couple Reese and Cyrus, as well as help arrange and take anniversary photos with them in the wedding-picture studio. Players will get wedding-themed items as a token of their gratitude.
All of this starts on April 23, when the free update launches.
