Summer Update for Animal Crossing is now available. Like the update in Spring, ACNH will have a new big patch adding new features to celebrate summer.

The 1.3.0 update is available since July 3!

Swimming and diving

Awaited by many fans, the diving feature will make a comeback in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Something new though, your character will be able to take a plunge to enter the water in style!

As in the old games, you can swim in the ocean and dive to recover various shellfish and other sea creatures underwater.

Pascal and Mermaid furniture

Pascal, the philosopher otter, will also be back. He'll appear out of the water when you find a Scallop underwater.

He will then offer you a nice quote and recipes for making furniture from the Mermaid collection.
