Dive back into this world today

Initially, update 3.0 ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons was supposed to arrive on the same day as the Switch 2 version of the game, which was tomorrow, January 15th. Nintendo surprises us by taking 24 hours in advance since this update is in fact already available on Switch, as Eurogamer was able to observe. By going to look on the eShop ourselves, we were able to verify that this update was indeed already accessibleletting you enjoy all the new features in advance.

As a reminder, this 3.0 update will bring a lot of new thingsstarting with a new hotel managed by Admiral, who will come to ask for a helping hand. You will then be free to manage the decoration of several rooms according to different themes, which will allow you to collect special tickets giving access to rewards, such as decoration in the image of Nintendo consoles and accessories, and even with the image of Zelda Or Splatoonprovided you have the dedicated amiibo.

You will also be able to benefit from greater storage space, while Resetti will help you clean up your garden. When you go to bed, you will also have access to the Rêver’île, a free construction and customization mode without too much constraint, to model alone or to share with friends.

For the Switch 2 version ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, you will still have to wait a few hours, as it will only be available from tomorrow.
