Summer Update - Wave 1 also adds new visitor encounters forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers to experience.

However, there is also anew Gulliver encounteradded toNew Horizonsas well, which sees the shipwrecked bird with some brand new clothes and a new task for players to complete.
TheAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsupdate also adds new items that players can purchase withNook Miles, giving Nook Miles more purpose than they had previously. Players will also find some brand new summer items in the shops, but they’ll need to act fast if they want them because they will only be available for a limited time.
The addition of swimming, diving, and sea creatures should greatly expand whatAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers can do in the game. It adds a completely new category to theCritterpedia, meaning players that have somehow already caught all of the bugs and fish finally have something new to do occupy their time.
