Nintendo rolls out 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' update ahead of schedule

Nintendo

During October's Nintendo Direct presentation, the company announced its last free major content update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons was coming on November 5. But it looks like the update went live slightly earlier. It is now live, and you can download it to your Switch. 

The New Horizons version 2 brings new features to the game, including old Animal Crossing characters like Brewster and Kapp'n. If you want to shop from new stores owned by familiar characters, you can head to Harv's Island.

Nintendo delays the release of ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ to March 2020

Animal Crossing fans might not like this Nintendo announcement. The company revealed at its E3 2019 presentation that the release of the game on the Switch will be pushed back to March 20, 2020. It was originally supposed to launch this year. Nintendo said in a statement, “We must ask you to wait a little later than we thought.”

What we get for now is a first look at the game. The game is set on a deserted island where you work to build a home and life for your character. It looks like animal neighbours will move in as you clean up the island. Crafting seems to be a part of this game as players work to make their own tools and items.
