Beginning Jan. 28, the new update will add the following features to the game:

• Festivale Event – Feel the heat with the colorful Festivale event filled with dancing and flying feathers! On Feb. 15, Dancer Pavé will arrive to your island’s plaza to usher in some confetti and carnival spirit. On the day of the event you can capture colorful feathers floating on your island with your net and trade them to Pavé to receive a passionate dance number in return. Rainbow feathers seem to be an especially rare sight, so be sure to catch them and trade them with Pavé. Invite friends over to your island or visit theirs to partake in the festivities together.
• New Reactions – If you want to express your excitement for Festivale, you’ll now have a range of new Reactions to choose from. The Viva Festival Reaction Set can be purchased with in-game Bells from the shelf at Nook’s Cranny for a limited time and includes Feelin’ It, Let’s Go, Viva and Confetti.
• New Clothing – Starting Feb. 1, Festivale clothing will be available at the Able Sisters shop for a limited time. Now you can get your Festivale groove on in style with these fashionable looks!
• Seasonal Items – Make sure to keep an eye out for seasonal items at the Nook Stop in Resident Services and through Nook Shopping. Celebrate the sentimental season with chocolate hearts and heart-shaped bouquets, which will be available for purchase beginning Feb. 1 and running through Feb. 14. There will also be other items related to Groundhog Day and Big Game Celebration available for certain periods during January and February!

Also, starting March 26, the Animal Crossing Sanrio Collaboration Pack will be available for purchase exclusively at Target stores across the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $5.99. The Animal Crossing Sanrio Collaboration Pack contains all six amiibo cards from this unique Sanrio Collaboration Series! You’ll be able to use these vibrantly designed amiibo cards in compatible games. Further details will be revealed in the future.

The 2020 runaway game of the year just keeps getting better and better.

They add a bunch of cosmetic stuff but not QoL features that the game SERIOUSLY lacks

Played it for about 10h or so before getting on my nerves.

And there are people out there saying that Animal Crossing is a good game in order to relax. Are you kidding me??

Ugh. I can't believe I took the hype and played this. Quite possibly the most overrated game ever created.

Most games that I don't personally care for, I can, at least, understand why people like them. Not Animal Crossing. You don't do anything. It's just an endless timesink without even a carrot on the end of the stick.

Some of us have played this game for hundreds of hours at this point, I was hoping that Nintendo would throw in some more "end game" content or stuff to do.

Another store expansion would be ace - my wife has her house paid off and over 9 million bells in the bank with nothing to spend them on. I guess she can look forward to buying some new seasonal outfits and yet another reaction pack. There's a ton of stuff (QoL features and more) that was in New Leaf that hasn't been brought to New Horizons. Maybe COVID really shut down a lot of their post-release plans, but I have to wonder what they're working on exactly.
