Update 1.10 Announced

As expected, a brand new update (1.10) has been announced over on the official Animal Crossing twitter and it'll release April 28th in Japan so it should be out the evening of April 27th here in North America– less than 36 hours from now at about 9PM EDT due to it releasing at 10AM in Japan. One thing that stands out is no Update gift is mentioned.

The update information mainly comprises in additions/changes to previous events/seasonal content/items along with a slew of brand new holidays being included for Nook Shopping Seasonal Items as well.

First up is the May Day event starting April 29th until May 7th. Like last year, you will get a single ticket to go to a special island maze and it seems to be a different one from last years.

International Museum Day also makes a return from May 18th to May 31st with its Stamp Rally, now including the Art Galley.

Wedding Season will also return with Reese and Cyrus for June, but new wedding items won't be exclusive to them– The Nook Shopping Catalog and Able Sisters will also be getting into the season with new items for sale.

Finally, as you can also see in the above picture, more seasonal items will be introduced in the Nook Shopping Catalog:

-Children's Day (April 28th-May 5th)

Kid's Day Flag and Newspaper Hat

-Cheese Rolling Festival (May 22nd-May 31st)

Double Gloucester Cheese Wheel!

Below are a list of the brand new items this time around in addition to the Children's Day and Cheese Rolling items.

  • Mother's Day (May 1st-31st) - Carnations! At the moment, we're expecting this to be an item like the Bouquets for Valentine's Day and not a new flower, but maybe we'll be surprised!
