Nintendo just announced the details for an upcoming Animal Crossing New Horizons patch that is scheduled to drop on April 23, 2020. The update will include several newly added island visitors, and prepare players for a few upcoming events, including Nature Day, May Day Tour, International Museum Day, and Wedding Season.

Here’s everything you can expect from the Animal Crossing New Horizons update on April 23.

Leif’s Garden Shop

Leif will be visiting islands to sell a wide range of plants including shrubs and flower seeds. These new items will allow you to customize your islands even more.

• Pink-azalea start
• White-azalea start
• Orange-tea-olive start
• Yellow-tea-olive start

Jolly Redd’s Treasure Trawler

Exchange bells for artwork and furniture at Jolly Redd’s Treasure Trawler. Redd will show up in his boat occasionally to sell in-game artwork and custom furniture in unique colors. Players need to figure out which pieces of art are real and fake, and the real artwork purchased here can be donated and used to create an art gallery at the Museum.

Museum Expansion

New additions to the museum will be introduced, including The Art Gallery where painting and sculptures will be exhibited.
