Do you think there will be a 4.0 update?

Nope, and I don't want them to!
Start working on the next game, please. ACNH was fun, but they need to take everything they did well and carry it over to the next game. They also need to improve QoL and ensure they drop a full game rather than releasing updates and a game that isn't ready to be released.

I would be super surprised if they do. I really want them to just continue working on the next AC to give me a reason to actually buy the Switch 2. The moment the new AC drops, I'll definitely be buying one. Pokopia has me intrigued, but I'd honestly rather just have a new AC which improves on ACNH.
I don't. I think their main focus right now is on Pokopia. I don't think they even have plans for animal crossing at the moment. Maybe they're discussing the next game in the series lineup, but other than that I think they're done with it for now. I hope they don't let it die out like Nintendogs. That game was so popular. Idk why they didn't bring one over to the switch, especially since they kept the touch screen. Now there's mouse controls too. I hope when they do make the next one that they will bring over ALL of the items from previous games, the perfect fruit, the island mini games and island fruit, better villager dialogue, etc...But I don't believe there will be another major update.
Personally, I don't have super high expectations that they will, especially if a new Animal Crossing game on the Switch 2 is on it's way fairly soon. That being said, it is still very possible for them to surprise us again with one more big update to tide us over until then. After all, there was an over four year gap between the 2.0 update and the 3.0 update. At this rate, anything's possible.
Halloqueen
Just a dreamer who dreams of better days.
Considering the market situations with computer components, memory, raw materials, cargo ships, energy, rising grocery prices in the US cutting into disposable income, and the general economy, not to mention lower than expected sales for the Switch 2 thus far, if I were Nintendo I would focus on working on a 4.0 update to New Horizons instead of continuing work on a new Animal Crossing game. Even if they're well into development of a new game, I don't think there's going to be great time anytime soon to try to sell new games, and especially not if there haven't been enough people who have bought into the Switch 2 yet. A new Animal Crossing game can wait until the world is less chaotic and more people can afford to spend on luxury like video games.
Would I prefer a new game? Yes. But after we got 3.0 even after they had previously said there would be no new content, I think the door is once again open to more being added to New Horizons. Simpler, easier and cheaper to sell some new DLC instead of asking people to spend way more on an entirely new game, plus you have a wider customer pool to derive the profit from.

Very well put, but not only this but they could easily make a multiplayer update with mini-games and I think that would boost so many player's interest in the game. I know it would with me and I'd want to play with all my friends doing crazy mini-games.
