Animal Crossing: New Horizons celebrated its one-year anniversary on March 20, 2021. Within this time period, Nintendo’s life simulator has become the second most successful Switch game with 32 million sales. Since then, the franchise has shown no signs of slowing down, releasing regular updates and events.
On March 17th, Nintendo took to Twitter to announce a “high school prom” inspired event coming to the game. Prom is typically a Western tradition celebrated at the end of a school season or graduation. It usually features people dressing up and gathering to dance and celebrate.
The prom event in Animal Crossing will be held between April 1 and April 30. During the event, players will get to purchase fun prom items and clothing, including dresses, tiaras, colorful tuxedos, and sashes. While it would be nice to have an official ‘Prom Night’ where players have an excuse to dress up and dance, there is no news of such an affair.
