In March, it will be 3 years since Animal Crossing New Horizons was released on the Nintendo Switch, much to the delight of fans. And although the title will never receive a big update again, forgetting these superb features from previous opuses, many players may have missed out on the new features added to the game in 2021. You may even discover only ACNH today and that’s why we offer you 6 things not to miss in this month of January 2023. And Happy New Year! Unfortunately, you won’t be able to purchase ark 2023 this time around.
The new fish and insects
The month of January is still immersed in winter snow if you have chosen the northern hemisphere, but the fauna and flora is somewhat modified.
Seasonal materials and recipes
If it is now too late to collect Christmas tree balls (the illuminated trees left the island on January 6), there is still time to collect snowflakes and make snowmen! Thanks to this, you will get new blueprints and you will be able to craft great furniture from the Arctic Series.
The first fishing tournament of the year!
the Saturday, January 14, 2023 will take place the first fishing tournament in the northern and southern hemispheres. The opportunity to win a ton of bells by selling your fish or exclusive Pollux items to decorate your island.
The first insectosafari of the year too!
In the Northern Hemisphere only, you can enjoy the first insect tournament of the year, organized by Djason. It takes place on Saturday, January 21, 2023 and, there again, it is an opportunity to capture a multitude of insects to complete your Museum or resell them. Thanks to the points obtained, you will be able to receive exclusive objects to decorate your island.
