Remember the early days of the pandemic when so many of us escaped to an island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons because we couldn't (and still can't) travel anywhere? Well, it's been an entire year already. Somehow.

I'm still playing my game, but not nearly as much. And I've learned to love the weeds on my island. They're here to stay because that's my mindset a year into a pandemic.

Anyway, here are the latest AC updates starting Thursday, March 18!

Anniversary cake: After installing the update, players can find a 1st Anniversary cake sent to their mailboxes in-game.

Seasonal Items: Spring is in the air, and with the changing of the seasons comes a range of new seasonal items! Just in time for April Fool’s Day, a variety of colors of whoopee cushions can be ordered between March 26 and April 1 from the in-game Nook Shopping service. For something a little more elegant, you can prep for prom season with themed fashion items at the Able Sisters shop from April 1 to April 30. You can also order prom-themed items from Nook Shopping during this period, such as a prom wall, prom night flooring and a prom stash. Never miss a chance to dance!

More design features with the Custom Design Pro Editor + on your NookPhone: Use your Nook Miles at the Nook Stop in Resident Services to unlock the feature. It’ll provide a more robust set of features, allowing for the customization of umbrellas, small flags, uchiwa and photo stands. And with a new expansion of 50 slots added to both the Normal Custom Design mode and Pro Custom Design mode, you can truly let your imagination run wild!

Custom Design Portal: Add the Custom Design Portal found in the Able Sisters store directly to your in-game NookPhone app. You’ll be able to use it any time inspiration strikes.

Sanrio collab begins March 26: The Animal Crossing Sanrio Collaboration Pack will be available for purchase at Target stores across the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $5.99.

Players can use the amiibo cards from the pack to invite Sanrio character residents to your island. The cards also exchange bells for Sanrio-themed furniture and fashion items in-game as well. 

Island Tour Creator: A new way to share your island with the world is on the way! The new Island Tour Creator launches on March 23 and is a limited-time web service currently planned to be available until the end of this year that lets you use screenshots and footage captured in Animal Crossing: New Horizons to create a poster and trailer for your island. Share your favorite spots on your island or commemorate sentimental scenes to show off what makes your personal island so special. Find out more info on the official Animal Crossing Twitter.
