Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a beloved title among almost all Nintendo Switch owners. Thanks to its amazing and addictive virtual world, the game has managed to stay one of the most popular online simulation titles even after two years of release.

Now to make Animal Crossing fans even more delighted, Nintendo has dropped a surprise. Since Fall is just around the corner, the developer and publisher decided to make players ready for a new season with fresh icons.

Animal Crossing players get new icons for Nintendo Switch Online members

It’s a new month on the calendar which means it’s also the perfect time for the Mario maker to introduce another interesting element in the Switch exclusive. For September, Animal Crossing has brought new icons based on the popular villagers in the simulation title. However, the most important thing to note is that the icons are only available for the Nintendo Switch Online members.

Speaking of the icons, then they also feature characters with September birthdays such as Marshall and Apple. From now until October 3rd at 8:59 PM EST, or 5:59 PM PST, players will be able to claim icons in Animal Crossing: New Horizons based on villagers who celebrate their birthdays in the month of September.

What to expect in the future of ACNH?

When it comes to what more players can expect in the game going forward, then the situation looks to be a little uncertain. It’s because of the lack of fresh updates from Nintendo.

In this year so far, ACNH fans haven’t received any kind of major expansion from Nintendo for their beloved Switch exclusive. It’s definitely a weird thing to witness, especially from a developer like Nintendo. While it has consistently released amazing games in 2022, there’s been just nothing on the front of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
