Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Summer Update for Download, Lean Patch Notes

Animal Crossing

Update: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update 1.11.0 is now available for download. On its website, Nintendo names the patch notes - and with them the changes and innovations. However, the update does not contain any surprises. As the developers say, the seasonal events have been updated. As already announced, fireworks take place every Sunday in August. At Nook Shopping you will discover new seasonal items. The patch is rounded off with unspecified optimizations to improve the gaming experience.

Original message: A new update is imminent for Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Nintendo heralds the summer in the Switch adventure. As the Mario Group announced on Twitter, the patch will be available for download from July 29th - tomorrow. The time at which the new update will be activated has not yet been determined. It is possible, however, that the developers will stick to the previous release times and therefore release the new update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a download in the early hours of the morning.

The specific patch notes with all changes and innovations are so far not before - and should not be submitted until tomorrow, Thursday. One thing is certain: with the update, new seasonal items and weekly fireworks will be added to the Switch adventure. Players who have been on their island for a long time already know the fireworks event. If Nintendo does not change the process, the fireworks will always take place on Sundays in August. You can even submit your own designs and design the look of the fireworks according to your taste. You can also take part in Rainer's raffle to win additional items.

Everything new in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 1.11.0 update

Nintendo recently rolled out a 1.11.0 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and fans finally have some hope for their favorite game. The lack of major updates for New Horizons has been the talk of the town recently. The community was eagerly waiting for something big.

While the 1.11.0 update isn't as massive as players were hoping for, Nintendo promised to make this update the first in a series scheduled to give New Horizons a much-needed push.

Nintendo made sure to release the patch notes for the July 28 Animal Crossing: New Horizons 1.11.0 update. However, the notes don't specify everything that is included in the update. It only says that seasonal events have been updated and seasonal items have been added.

These patch notes had fans wondering what the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 1.11.0 update has to offer. However, audiences know about the new seasonal events and items added to the new update.

A popular attraction returning from the previous year is the Fireworks event. While it majorly remains the same, three new handheld items have been added to Animal Crossing: New Horizons through update 1.11.0 that fans can enjoy while watching the fireworks.
