Nintendo Reveals Next Free Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update Introducing New Festival Event

Upon entering 2021, content for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is still expected to arrive with a new year ahead of its fans. In December, Nintendo issued a trailer for the free Winter Update scheduled for the March-released title which included more house storage, new reactions, and the ‘Toy Day’ event that stands as Christmas for your getaway island in-game.

But for January, much is left untouched surprisingly enough. But looking ahead, it is expected that new content will drop sometime in late January at the end of the aforementioned video. Even more, it included a image of Pavé which suggested the festival peacock will be making a large impression on your island resident leading into February.

Now in a new trailer uploaded on Tuesday, Nintendo reveals the next free update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You can watch the latest trailer in the video below:

“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,” reads the description for the new event. “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.”At the end of the trailer, Nintendo goes on to include a reminder that select Mario content will be added to Animal Crossing: New Horizons sometime in March.
