Halloween Changes

Nintendo confirmed that it will add new Halloween items for players to enjoy this year. Although these items were already datamined, it’s the first time Nintendo is announcing them officially.

Interestingly, developers even confirmed that players only need version 1.11.1 to take part in the event, and 1.11.1 is already the current version of the game. This means Nintendo will not release any other update to trigger the event. Nintendo has time-locked the Halloween event and players can’t get early access to it, therefore they might have to wait till the end of October to take part in the event.
