It’s been over a year since the launch ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfor the Nintendo Switch, and that means the game’s various events are coming back in season. As of April 1,Animal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers will notice that their island is looking quite a bit different, as cherry blossoms are back in season, giving them the chance to collect petals and craft special furniture and other recipes.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonscherry blossomswill be available from now until April 10, so fans of the game have a very limited window to collect the petals. To collect cherry blossom petals inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, players need to verify they have a bug catching net equipped. And then when they are exploring their island, they will potentially see the petals floating in the air. Swing at the petals with the net just like one would do when catching bugs to snag them.

Besides cherry blossoms, there’s plenty more forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers to look forward to in April as well. The game will be adding some fresh items to buy, with the Forsythia plant currently available to purchase from theNook Shopping appas part of the Singmoli item collection. Like the cherry blossoms, the Singmoli items will only be available inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsuntil April 10, so fans should keep that in mind while doing their in-game shopping.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers will also notice that prom-themed items have been added to the game. For the entire month of April,Animal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers can purchase prom items from both Nook Shopping and theAble Sisters. Players have a bit more time to collect theAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsprom items than they do cherry blossoms or the Singmoli items, but they’re still on a timer. Of course, at least some of the items should cycle back into the game next year, but that’s quite the long wait.
In the meantime, some diehardAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers may be wondering when the game will be getting more substantial updates. Nintendo has not announced any plans for any new bigAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsupdates for later in 2021, and it’s quite possible that the development team is moving on to other projects. After all, anew Nintendo Switch consoleis rumored to be in development, and that could get a big sales boost if it had anAnimal Crossinggame of its own.
Whether or notAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis getting anymore big updatesremains to be seen, but there should be enough content in the game to keep fans busy for some time to come.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
