Therefore, the only updates that wouldn’t qualify as major updates are crossover updates. The crossover updates that can happen in the future are Zelda, Splatoon, and Monster Hunter. Interestingly, we have already seen an Animal Crossing crossover with these popular franchises in previous titles.

Nintendo introduced crossover theme villagers to attract more users to the game. Other than villagers, developers also released many furniture sets to match with the crossover, which several players enjoyed. Thus, we might see developers bringing all those popular sets and villagers back to ACNH with another crossover update with these titles soon.
