Animal Crossing: New Horizons update 1.11.0 guide- Fireworks and other events, leaks, Halloween items, bugs, and more

Animal Crossing update 1.11.0 came out a few days back and has added tons of new content to the title. The update is clearly a sign of better things to come.

The update added the Fireworks event along with a few new mini-season events and their corresponding items that are currently time locked. Interestingly, the update also brought in a few bugs and removed a few fan-favorite items from the game. However, this might have been an accident, and it is possible that Nintendo will address the issue in subsequent updates.

The beginning of a new month means new critters for players to get their hands on. Similarly, an array of critters leave the island and don't return until a year later.

The following section sheds light on the new elements in update 1.11.0 of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

What has update 1.11.0 added to Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

Fireworks and other seasonal events

The Fireworks event has been the highlight of the fifth title in the long-running franchise.

Interestingly, Nintendo added 12 new items to Redd's Raffle this year, making it 24 for players who are new to the game.

Bugs

The update might've added several new elements to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but it also added a range of bugs and glitches.

A bug removed the orchestrated version of the theme song that plays in Nook's Cranny right before it's about to shut for the day.

This might be accidental and it's possible that Nintendo might fix it in future updates. Another bug is limited to Harv's island in Animal Crossing.

Players are finding it tough to decorate the cabin. Items are appearing in the incorrect design or color which is affecting the player's ability to customize items in the game.

The island has all the base versions of the items, ignoring the specific versions the players own.

Halloween items in Animal Crossing

Data miners also covered evidence of new Halloween themed items, which are currently time locked.

This suggests that Animal Crossing update 1.11.0 has material for events until late October, implying that the next update might come out sometime in November.

Rumors suggest that the next Nintendo Direct might take place in September as has been a trend. If such reports are to be believed, devs might share more interesting updates around Animal Crossing as E3 was a rather sad affair.

Animal Crossing patrons have a lot to look forward to. True, the last couple of months have been a little disappointing, but the movement around the title is still alive and we might hear more sooner rather than later.
