Yet another month is around the corner, and that means new content will arrive at Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Unfortunately, in either of the hemispheres, July is probably the most non-happening month in the game. It’s still a continuation of summer and lacks festivities, leading to a lack of fresh content during the month.

Regardless of how slow July is, there is still a decent amount of changes the new month will bring to the game. Some of the seasonal items will return from the previous year, and a few new ones will also arrive. Players can expect to see a slight change in the weather with the rare Cumulonimbus clouds arriving.

With Nintendo failing to make a major announcement about ACNH at E3 2021, players are still hoping to see one in July. However, the probability of such an update arriving in July is extremely low. Hopefully, all these changes are enough to satisfy players to continue playing the game.
