Bowser promised there were plans in the works so that the " 33 million people who have islands out there have new and fun activities to engage with." But what could those "new and fun activities" be, and when are they coming? In June, Doug Bowser, President of Nintendo of America, said Animal Crossing: New Horizons is getting new content. There was a slew of excellent updates after the game's launch - including swimming, the addition of museum's art wing, and Leif's flower shop - so the lack of new activities to draw players back into the game in 2021 has been surprising.

ANCH's updates have been lackluster since Festivale in January and the eruption of Mario items in February. A March update focused on New Horizons' anniversary and gave new customizable variety goods, like a photo stand, to the Custom Design app an April update added minimal tweaks to last year's spring and summer holidays.
