Nintendo has revealed that Animal Crossing fans have a lot to look forward to next week when a big updated is scheduled to be released. This big update will include new features such as the ability to swim and dive for creatures. There will also be some fresh faces and you will discover a variety of new items, including mermaid-themed furniture.
This new update is currently slated to be released on July 3rd. It will add the following features and characters to your island:
Swimming and Diving – Grab a wet suit and get aquatically acquainted with your island marine life when swimming and diving arrive in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Swim in the inviting waters off the coast of your island and dive to discover and scoop up sea creatures that inhabit your island’s ecosystem. Keep your eyes peeled for any prospective additions to the museum, and make sure to listen for fun facts from Blathers when you donate your new discoveries.
Pascal Brings Rewarding Recipes – While swimming, you might meet someone new! The friendly visitor Pascal seems to love scallops, and if you discover one while diving, he may ask you if he can have it. As a thank you, he’ll share some of his mermaid-themed DIY recipes.
Gulliver? – After downloading the free update, a familiar face will occasionally wash up on shore, but sporting slightly different pirate-like clothing. Offer him a helping hand and he’ll send a special reward to show his gratitude.
In addition to this update, there is another planned for the month of August as well, although Nintendo isn’t saying what they have planned for that one quite yet. Check out the trailer below to see what we can expect next week and tell us what you think. What are you going to do first once you have this new update?
