The Animal Crossing: New Horizons winter update trailer that came out in November last year left an Easter egg for fans. It triggered a future update in late January 2021. The teaser included an image of Pavé, a character from previous Animal Crossing games that led fans to conclude that he will arrive in New Horizons in the January update to host the ‘Festivale’ event .
With only a week left until the end of January, the update could reach any day now. As the update is coming, data miners are busy finding all the clues they can. With their help, Mayor Mori on YouTube has compiled some important content updates for the game.
According to files that data miners have found, two of these likely changes could be something that fans have seen in previous games. Accompanying them will also be some quality of life changes to improve the players’ gaming experience.
Villagers can finally visit their homes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons while you show off some ceiling furniture
An interesting feature of previous Animal Crossing games allowed residents to visit players’ homes. However, when Animal Crossing: New Horizons was released, fans were disappointed. The only two places where players can interact with their villagers are at their homes or outside the island.
The January update changes that New Horizons players can now also get villagers to visit their homes. Data miners were able to locate some unused dialogues in the files that point to this significant update.
The second change is also something that fans of the franchise have seen in previous games. According to data miners, there are certain game files that point to items that players can use to decorate their ceilings. This is not an option currently available to New Horizons players, but they will be able to try it out soon.
All important updates to Animal Crossing: New Horizons also bring several changes in the quality of life. They are quite easy to predict as they are usually based on feedback from the community. Since the last update, players have always asked to be able to buy various clothes in the store, which could be one of the changes to come.
Players are certainly excited about the next update that is coming. Inviting residents to their homes or watching them enter casually would make the game even more fun.
