Animal Crossing: New Horizons operates in real-time and incorporates natural events such as the change of seasons and weather. One of the primary reasons for the social situation game’s immense popularity is its range of features that resemble real life. Catching bugs and fish or diving in the ocean are some of the most pleasurable aspects of the game.

With October rapidly approaching, some monthly changes are about to occur in New Horizons. Islands in the northern hemisphere have transitioned into fall, while southern hemisphere islanders are experiencing a pleasant spring. As the game cycles new fishes, bugs, and sea creatures in or out every month, an assortment of critters will depart the islands after September. Some of the departing creatures will disappear until next year. Players might consider catching as many as they can before September ends.

However, that also means a new batch of critters will show up on the islands in October, depending on the hemisphere. Players are advised to keep their fishing rods, bug nets, and diving gear handy as they have quite the amount to add to their collection in the coming days. While the southern hemisphere islands will shelter the majority of critter arrivals, northern hemisphere players have a few interesting creatures to look out for.
