It is not a surprise at all, seeing Nintendo brought back the Halloween event much like last year. Thus far, the Japanese gaming studio has retained all the events that were added to Animal Crossing New Horizons in its debut year. This time around fans will get a chance to get their hands on a range of new exclusive items, and gear that won’t return to the game again.
This fact alone makes it a great time for people to jump right back into the game, as the next major update is just a few days away. In addition to exclusive Halloween items, there are a number of adorable handheld items that are going to roll out soon. These things will be up for grabs all the way through November 2021.
