is nintendo setting us up for more animal crossing content with this update?

the timing of the update is so out of the blue, i know they also did the welcome amiibo update with ACNL but that was moreso to sell amino cards during nintendo’s amiibo surge.

part of me thinks this was designed to get the attention of the animal crossing community and we might get another dlc, update or even a switch 2 exclusive spin off game in the near future.

Surely there'll be a new game within the next 5 years, but I think this is just part of their launch year for the Switch 2. They put in the work to justify releasing a physical Switch 2 version, I think after this the team will continue focusing on the next title.

I have always thought being version 2.08 something was always an off number for me, and I have always wondered if they would make it a whole number. Maybe they waited for a specific time, this time where people were starved for more Animal Crossing content.
Doesn't mean I don't think we're that close to a new game yet. I never expected it this early for the new switch.

I really hope so. I'd be fine going without a new AC game for like another 5 years so long as they started updating ACNH again.

I still can't get over the fact that they said there would be no more big updates and yet here we are getting a big update? Like how does that work? Why did they change their minds?

I hope we get another update or DLC later. I have no issues with them keeping NH longer — even if that means getting the new AC later on. In any case, I don’t expect a new entry at least until 2027 or so
