Animal Crossing: New Horizons Next Free Update Arrives This Week
Nintendo has announced that the next free update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons will arrive later this week, bringing all sorts of feathers and festivities along for the ride.
The new update includes a Festivale event, new seasonal additions, new Reactions, and new items to purchase. It all kicks off on Thursday 28th January:
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.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons Teases Mario-Themed Free Update
Animal Crossing: Free Horizons set to release later this week on January 28th will largely focus on the Festivale Event in the middle of February, the very end of the trailer for it also teased an upcoming Mario-themed free update in March. What, exactly, this might entail has yet to be revealed, but there are certain things we can speculate based on the sorts of things that the video game has added in the past.
Notably, the trailer, which you can watch above, includes a brief look at the iconic mushroom and star from the Mario franchise. If the March update has anything in common with previous free updates, there should be an event, new Reactions, and new clothing available. If it is a Mario-themed update, which the teaser seems to indicate by all accounts, it seems fair to assume that Mario and Luigi costumes will be added if nothing else. Whatever the case may be, it seems like Nintendo will show more once the next up
