The first part of this new content will allow you to swim, dive and meet new characters, among other news.
Summer progresses inexorably and the heat is pressing hard day after day. Although the beaches are not fully operational due to the coronavirus, the players of Animal Crossing: New Horizons will finally be able to dive into the waters of the ocean. And it is that the summer update 1, which will be released for free on July 3, will allow our character to swim and dive to explore new marine horizons. This has been announced by Nintendo through the official account of the video game on social networks. On these lines you have the possibility to view the trailer.
Now that swimming is a possibility, the inhabitants of the islands will meet new characters. This is the case of Pascal, who appears in the video asking the protagonist for a shell she has just found. Later, a bird-like creature with a pirate hat appears lying on the shore, with the tidal water about to sweep him away. However, the friendly character (Gulliver) does not seem to care too much, as he is taking his well-deserved nap. After all, aren’t we in the summer?
