New Animal Crossing: New Horizons Seasonal Items Now Available

A new month is underway, and for Animal Crossing: New Horizons players, that means there are a variety of new items to collect and wildlife to catch in Nintendo’s popular Switch life simulator. In addition to acorns and pineapples, which have started to appear on trees around the islands of the Northern Hemisphere, players everywhere can order a couple of new seasonal items from the Nook Shopping catalog, but as usual, just will be available for a limited time. so you will need to request them quickly if you want to add them to your collection.

First there is the vintage basket, a basket that can be used in celebration of the Harvest Festival. It costs 800 bells and will be available until September 30. The other new seasonal item is the Moon Rug, which will be available until October 8 and lasts for 2,000 bells. You can purchase both items from the Season tab in the Nook Shopping catalog.

Beyond the vintage basket, players in the Northern Hemisphere can now find acorns and pinecones, which can be used to craft new fall DIY recipes. You will receive one of these, the Reward Tree Tree Recipe, from Isabelle during her daily announcement when you start the game, while others can be found in balloons. Meanwhile, spring is about to begin for players in the southern hemisphere, which means cherry blossoms will appear soon.

A new month also means new insects and fish to catch, as well as some new sea creatures. Crickets, red dragonflies and more have emerged on islands in the northern hemisphere, while on islands in the southern hemisphere you can find bees, mantises and other insects. You can see all the new fauna that is available in each hemisphere in our insect and fish guides.

Although a new season is coming, Nintendo has yet to announce a new content update for New Horizons. The latest update released in early August and added a variety of new features to the game, including dreams, an August fireworks festival, and the ability to back up New Horizons save data. New Horizons will also finally receive Mario-themed items in March 2021 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Super Mario series.
