Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a Nintendo bestseller. It is one of the most popular life-simulation games out there, and for good reason. The simple gameplay, set in an island-village community, provides a perfect getaway from our stressful lives. This is one of the major reasons why the game became such a huge hit during such trying times.

The recent summer update brought a lot of fun features in the game, most notably the ability to go swimming and to collect and interact with various marine items and creatures. The update saw the inclusion of characters like Pascal who will swap the items you find in the ocean for other useful items.

But of course, fishing remains one of the major aspects of the update. If you show the items you have caught to Blathers, he provides some pretty interesting trivia about it. This August, the game will be seeing some changes in the variety of fish and bugs with the Free Summer Update Wave 2. Let us take a look.

As for fish, the game flaunts quite a large variety. From Goldfish to the Great White Shark, you have it all. It is quite understandable why fishing is one of the most exciting activities that the game has welcomed with the summer update. However, if you are particularly fond of tadpoles, we suggest you catch them, pet them, and admire them while you can, i.e. until August starts. Tadpoles will be gone from the Northern Hemisphere. Again, there are no changes in the Southern Hemisphere, whatsoever.

Well, let’s see what the Wave 2 of Free Summer Update brings us!
