Even with 32.63 million units sold thus far, Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to receive free updates. Nintendo of America on Twitter revealed that the next update would arrive on July 29th. This adds weekly fireworks shows along with some new seasonal items. Not the most earth-shattering of updates but it’s great for new players who are just getting into the game.
Of course, there will be other free content coming to the game later this year. A release date wasn’t provided but the company promises that more information would be provided in the future. It’s also likely that other seasonal events will be returning as well in the coming months.
