Since the game's release last month, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has given Nintendo Switch owners plenty of things to enjoy. Nintendo's life-sim game features a plethora of bugs and fish to catch, fruits to grow, buildings to commission, and debts to pay off. That said, it looks like the number of things for players to do in the game will be increasing. A recent datamine has apparently revealed some major new inclusions, including returning characters, and some brand-new gameplay mechanics, as well. If the information is to be believed, the updates could start to arrive as soon as later this week!
According to the datamine, one part of the game that's getting an upgrade is the museum. While the museum already boasts some amazing features, the building is apparently getting some new additions, including a gift shop, a cafe (which makes sense given some in-game dialogue), and an art section. Of course, an art section wouldn't be possible without paintings to fill it with, which means Crazy Redd is returning to the game. Apparently, the clever fox will now dock a ship to once again sell works of art that may or may not be legitimate.
Two more returning features were also spotted in the game's backend: fake art and, more importantly, bushes. Ninji turned up entries for azalea, hibiscus, holly, hydrangea, camellia, and osmanthus bushes, so your garden may get some colorful new additions soon. Speaking of which, your fields may be getting some new options as well, with tomatoes, wheat, sugar cane, potatoes, carrots, and pumpkins appearing in the data. In addition, our site 5mmo.com has a large quantity of safe ACNH Bells For Sale.
The datamine has dredged up code pertaining to diving and sea creatures, which was a feature in New Leaf. I noticed the diving gear in the Museum and wondered if this was only set dressing. If this datamine is verifiable, the player might be able to explore the ocean for 33 new “Seafood” items, including animal and seaweed species. Finally, the last big discovery is another expansion for the Nook’s Cranny store. Not much else is stated about its features or size, but it might offer a greater range of tools and limited-time items.
It should be noted that this isn’t 100% confirmation that these features will ever make it into the game, as it’s entirely possible that it’s just leftover code that hasn’t been taken out. But it’s safe to assume that maybe some of them could be added in the future, at least.
