Monthly changes and updates are frequent occurrences in the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The social simulation game takes place in real-time and includes natural phenomena like seasons and weather changes. Moreover, those who have played the game know how immersive an experience it is to catch a variety of critters.

New Horizons has a pattern of fish, bugs, and sea creatures that cycle in and out every month. With November coming to a close, an assortment of critters will depart both the Northern and Southern hemisphere islands after November 30. Some of these critters will not return for quite some time, so players are advised to catch as many as they can before time runs out.

As the Northern Hemisphere is transitioning into winter, the islands here will see the majority of critter departures. Meanwhile, Southern Hemisphere players don’t have as many creatures leaving because summer is just around the corner.

Players need to keep an eye out, so they don’t miss catching any of the creatures towards completing their Critterpedia and donating them to Blather’s Museum.
