Feathers and festivities are headed your way soon! A free update to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game for the Nintendo Switch system will arrive on Jan. 28.
Whether you recently picked up the game over the holidays, or you’re a long-time island resident, we hope this free update fires up your island with its carnival spirit and new seasonal items.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons periodically receives updates that deliver events and features to the game, and this new update includes a colorful and feather-filled Festivale event, some heartfelt seasonal additions, new Reactions and new items to purchase.
Beginning Jan. 28, the new update will add the following features to the game:
- Festivale Event – Feel the heat with the colorful Festivale event filled with dancing and flying feathers! On Feb. 15, Dancer Pavé will arrive to your island’s plaza** to usher in some confetti and carnival spirit. On the day of the event you can capture colorful feathers floating on your island with your net and trade them to Pavé to receive a passionate dance number in return. Rainbow feathers seem to be an especially rare sight, so be sure to catch them and trade them with Pavé. Invite friends over to your island or visit theirs to partake in the festivities together.***

I hope Brewster comes soon!
Soooo sanrio characters are coming back, because their amiibo have no use in new horizon unless you just want their wall paper, here’s to hoping they make the next update super big for the mario collab, been playing horizons everyday since launch, and its alot boring thans its past titles majority of times I ignore my villagers due to them saying the same five things everyday.
But where’s Brewster!? Where’s Harriet?
