The latest installment in the Animal Crossing game series, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, came out earlier this year. It was not only a delight to long-time fans that had been waiting years for a new title, but also for newcomers to the series. The game’s popularity accelerated due to COVID-19 lockdowns, allowing friends to gather on each other’s islands and explore together, yet separately.
The game’s popularity may have died down in recent months, but the developers are still releasing seasonal updates with new content, and plan to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. The game was given a spooky season update on Sept. 30 that allowed players to grow pumpkins, gather candy and learn how to craft new spooky decorations to decorate their islands. When Halloween finally arrives on Oct. 31, players can even trick-or-treat with their villagers.
A little known fact about the staff at The Current is that we are enthusiastic about Animal Crossing. We decided that a great way to show what the new update has to offer was to get together and decorate our islands for Halloween. We decided we would play through the month of October and report back on our findings.
From everyone at The Current, have a safe and happy Halloween!
