Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a wide range of exciting features that closely represent the real world. Anyone who has played the game knows how immersive and fun the experience is to catch bugs and fishes. Moreover, the social simulation game takes place in real-time and includes natural phenomena like the change of seasons and weather.
Monthly changes and updates are frequent occurrences in the world of New Horizons. The game has new fish, bugs, and sea creatures that cycle in our out every month. Therefore, an assortment of critters is set to depart both the north and south hemisphere islands after September 30. Some of these critters might not become available for quite some time, so players are advised to catch as many as they can before time runs out.
With autumn in full swing, many bugs, fish, and sea creatures will take their leave from islands in the northern hemisphere. Meanwhile, southern hemisphere players will not experience as many critter departures due to the pleasant spring months. All the Animal Crossing critters leaving both hemispheres after September are listed below. Players need to keep an eye out so that they don’t miss out on adding to their collection.
