Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an open world game where players have to build their own islands. Nintendo also lets players collect bugs, fishes, and other creatures. In the game, all creatures migrate in and out on a monthly basis. As a result, many creatures will depart from New Horizons universe after March.

The number of departing creatures will vary from northern to southern hemisphere. Unfortunately, southern hemisphere players may suffer a lot because the number of creatures leaving southern hemisphere is very high compared to northern hemisphere.
