A newAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsupdate is now available, adding Dream Islands, the new NPC Luna, fireworks shows, and more. The newAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsupdate is one of the most significant the game has seen to date, but datamining efforts suggest that even bigger updates could be on the way at some point in the future.
Dataminer Ninji has dug through thenewAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsupdatefiles, discovering evidence that the game could potentially add a farming feature. Files related to carrots, potatoes, squash, sugar cane, tomatoes, and wheat were all discovered, suggesting that the game could be adding vegetables and farming in a future update. This would add yet another major layer toAnimal Crossing: New Horizons' gameplay and could give fans a lot more to do as they complete their daily tasks.

Files were also found suggestingAnimal Crossing: New Horizonswill be bringing theGyroids furniture itemback. Gyroids have been a staple in theAnimal Crossingfranchise untilNew Horizons, with the strange objects making a variety of unique sounds. That being said, there is at least one Gyroid inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsalready, as players have to talk to one to fund island construction projects like new bridges.
And finally, theNew Horizonsupdate datamine pointed to a new Plumeria bush type being added to the game. Presumably, players will have to purchase the bush fromLeif the Slothwhenever he shows up on their island if they want to add it to their collection.
However, it’s worth pointing out that it’s entirely possible that none of this content will actually come toAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. It could be that these features were in development for the game at one point, only for Nintendo to ultimately scrap them. But then again, dataminers found evidence ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons' swimming featuremonths before it actually made it into the game, so it really could go either way.
All we know for sure is that anAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsHalloween updateis in the works. Maybe these features will be added then, but that’s just speculation at this time. Nintendo has not provided any specifics on the Halloween update beyond that it exists, soAnimal Crossingfans will just have to stay tuned.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
