Animal Crossing: New Horizons October update brings refreshed Halloween event, St. Martin's Day, and more

Nintendo announced the return of Brewster and the Roost to Animal Crossing: New Horizons at the recently concluded Nintendo Direct.

The developers also revealed that an "Animal Crossing Direct" would occur in October, throwing more light on subsequent updates, including those around the Roost.

Besides that, heaps of other changes will take place in October. The most visible undoubtedly will be the changes in the foliage of the islands. The light green bushes and leaves will start turning into a vibrant shade of orange and introduce critters and events associated with Fall.

Players have uncovered three new Halloween-themed items: Spooky Treats Basket, Spooky Tree, and Spooky Trick Lamp.

They will also need access to the current version of the game to participate in the event. Interestingly, several new items and elements will make their way as soon as Halloween comes around, as they're currently time locked.

In addition, Day of the Dead (November 2), St. Martin's Day (November 11), and Shichigosan (November 15) are new events that will feature in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the first time.
