With the spooky season past us, we look to. The new Animal Crossing: New Horizons update. November brings a fresh batch of new seasonal content for all the autumnal cottage core vibes. With only a few days till the update’s release, Brig looks at the new additions and changes ahead of November 5th.
First, let’s break down everything starting with the main draw: Brewster the pigeon and his coffee shop. The Roost is finally coming to New Horizons and will be held in the museum. So, with a fresh coffee in hand, you can chat with fellow villagers and friends alike.
Next is everybody’s new favourite, Kapp’n. For Nook Miles, you can visit an island with him, letting you mine its resources. Here’s the twist though, these islands will be different times and seasons to your own; how cool!
Harv’s photo Island is also getting a significant upgrade to have a vendor’s market island. Vendors include fan favourites like Tortimer, Reese and Cyrus. On the mainland, there’s everything from new group activities to farming and cooking. Adding more customisation is easier than ever; changing opening times decorating, and the building will undoubtedly be plenty to keep busy.
There are tons of KK songs and a new way to listen to them. There are more hairstyles and different reactions. Nook Miles is adding new items, including a Ferris wheel. Finally, there’s a new Island Life tips app with gameplay that includes hints on how to play.
The paid DLC feels like a year’s worth of content. As a result, you could build custom holiday homes with Lottie, the otter. Design the interior and exterior, place furniture, and decorate. Amiibo cards will let you build a holiday home for a particular character. What’s the point? The new Poki currency can be spent in the hub where you can build schools, restaurants, and hospitals, where you can meet even more cute friends to add to your island.
Where you can meet even more adorable friends.
