Animal Crossing: New Horizons dropped during a prime season in the year 2020. Right at the rise of the infamous COVID-19 pandemic, Nintendo published the game as a Nintendo Switch exclusive. That the game is available only on Switch makes its insane success a bigger achievement.

The game single-handedly lifted the sales of Nintendo Switch exponentially. It released in March 2020 and sold 5 million digital copies globally within the same month. This shattered the record of any other console game in the past in a single month and also established it among the top 3 highest-grossing games in 2020.

Now that update 1.9.0 is out and the game’s first anniversary is tomorrow, their second year has a lot of events and items planned. April Fools’, Anniversary, Bunny Day, and of course, Nature Day are among some most awaited events of March and April.

During the week of Nature Day, April 15 to April 22, players can head to the Nook’s Cranny. A rare item, Cool Globe, will be available to “show their support for the environment.” But that’s not all. There are some more unknown DIY item recipes planned for the entire month of April.

The studio is not limiting itself to only a week. The first week of April will introduce another special nature-themed event in South Korea. South Koreans consider ‘Singmogil’ as the beginning of a new season. The day is “a day for planting trees and caring for our forests” in the country.
As informed in a tweet by Nintendo of America, the day will also get an event of its own.
Honoring South Korean festival Singmogil, a seasonal plant “Forsythia” will be available for the villagers. Just like the real-life celebration, Animal Crossing fans can celebrate in-game by nurturing the plant on their islands. Players can order “Forsythia” anytime between April 1 to April 10.
