When will Update 2.0 of Animal Crossing: New Horizons arrive?

During the Animal Crossing Direct last month, the developers revealed that Update 2.0 will drop on November 5. However, it might arrive a day early for some players depending on the location because of how time-zones work. It will arrive sharply on November 5 at 1 AM GMT. This means that it will drop at 10 AM in Japan and 12 PM in Australia.

However, because of time-zones, North American users will receive the update for the popular Nintendo title on November 4. It will release at 6 PM PT/ 8 PM CT/ 9 PM ET. So, most Northern American players can even play this game before it’s even dinner time, and try all the new content till they eventually sleep. But, what’s so exciting about this update?
