Animal Crossing: New Horizon gets fish, bug and mushroom-filled November update
Yet more reasons to lose entire days in this game...
Animal Crossing: New Horizon, the game that has taken the world by storm for players of the Nintendo Switch continues to roll out fresh updates so that the game keeps being endlessly worth a revisit - and this month is no exception.
The game is more popular than ever, so much so that it has even been used to help a Presidential campaign in this year's US election on more than one occasion, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Following the recent Halloween event, now you can retreat to your island of choice for all kinds of new things to do in November - here's all you need to know.
If you do not yet have a way to play the game, all you need is a Nintendo Switch and a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
What is in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons November update?
Well for starters, for those of us the Northern Hemisphere, we will be seeing new mushrooms begin to pop up as of today! While everyone may not see them instantly, they will be sprouting up out of the ground on your island from now- so be on the look of out for them.
These will be used for seasonal crafting ingredients so they will be well worth collecting as and when you see them. Isabelle should have all the details for you when you log in to the game next, telling you to check at the base of trees.
They are said to be elegant, round, skinny and flat mushrooms and finding them all will uncover some helpful DIY recipes.
And it is not just mushrooms that are new with fish and bugs being worth looking into again too now that the update is upon us. While the list of what is new will be different depending on where you are, here is what we can expect for players in Europe to find:
