This summer was and still is to be an eventful time for Animal Crossing: New Horizons players as two separate title updates were scheduled to ship in July and later in August. The first – evidently – already arrived offering island residents the ability to depart from their isle and venture to the surrounding seas to collect aquatic life through exploring the ocean’s bed in scuba diving.
Also offering an entirely new category to collect for Blather’s ambitions to fill the museum, player should be occupies for the time being. But as promised, there is a second update that is slated to arrive sometime following the first client shipping. That date is today sharing new seasonal additions alongside some returning features from prior installments.
In what looks to be celebratory activities for Independence Day, every Sunday all players can find their night sky filled with fireworks. And with the light filling the skyline, players will also have the ability to launch their own custom fireworks into the sky as well.
In addition to the arrival of Wave 2 for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players who take their journey to the bed will find that Dream Islands is making a return! With users that have purchased a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, they will be granted access to other user-created islands and can even display their own for other players to visit.
Nintendo also took the opportunity to show off that Island Backup will be arriving to the game. The feature many players were worried about the arrival of the game since it shipped this past spring without the feature present to preserve their islands they knew several hours would be put into. Of course, the firm also shared that another new update will ship sometime later this fall. However, there is no specified timeframe aside from the generalized release window.
