Franklin is on his way too
[Update:The free winter update forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsisnow available. Download it today to start hoarding more junk in your storage!]
Having always lived in areas of the United States that didn’t see a traditional fall or winter, right now is the time I most enjoy getting intoAnimal Crossing. Seeing the autumn colors of the trees slowly transform to the marshmallow world of winter never ceases to bring me joy. I remember inNew Leaf, I’d make it a point to go get a warm beverage from Brewster before just walking around my island and taking it all in.
With the holiday season upon us, Nintendo is ready to release a new update forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsthat’ll bring the festivities to your island paradise. Included in the update will be Franklin to prepare your Turkey Day meal and Jingle, who needs your help handing out presents for Toy Day.
But that’s not all. This update is also bringing with it some new hairstyles and new reactions, including the ability to sit on the ground. From the mightiest pharaoh to the lowliest peasant, who doesn’t enjoy a good sit? You’ll also be able to expand your in-house storage and, in perhaps the biggest addition, save data transfers are coming to the game. Players will be able to transfer non-island-representative residents individually to a new Switch console with most of their belongings intact, or they can transfer the entire island to a new Switch in a one-way transfer.
This latest update forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonshits on November 19, which means it’ll probably be available in North America the evening of November 18. Another update is scheduled for late January that will bring Pavé to your island.
