Why haven't we heard anything about Earth Day yet?

Yeah your not going to hear anything until like at least a week away from Earth Day. Most likely it will be a couple days before we hear anything.

also it will probably only be a one day event.

and yeah they said that there would be other features included in the update but it’s probably smart to set your expectations low. It could be anything from a new series of furniture to the cafe to the art gallery.
It's on the 22nd, that's this time next week.
 
They already announced it though during the mini direct. They just didn't tell us details and I don't think they are going to either. They seem to be keeping things under wraps a lot this time so they can try to surprise us. Only people don't want to be surprised. People want to know now! 😅 I also think people are getting anxious about not knowing what is going to be in the game since they are doing an update schedule and they haven't done this sort of thing before with other AC games.

I don't think it is going to be a full week-long event like Bunny Day since that was a big holiday. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a little day-long event like it was in New Leaf similar to Columbus Day.
 
Honestly, I think all we need to be right now is patient. Not only is this a very strange and difficult time for us, its likely the same for Nintendo as well- including their devs. Plus, this is how games with online functions release nowadays. They're doing it to retain player interest over time by trickling out new features over time. And honestly I like it this way! Animal Crossing has always been a game that you're supposed to take slow and enjoy each day, and the fact that they're going to add updates to spice things up is exciting. It makes me want to keep playing to see what they're going to add next!

Nintendo has always been like this too- they're not the time of gaming company to release 'teasers' like others do. They're very quiet about whats going on.
 
I don't think they're going to be making a huge deal out of every holiday update. We'll probably hear something a few days before Earth Day, and even then it will likely just be a tweet and maybe an article in the news section of the Switch.

If it starts on the 22nd (or it might be a 1 day event, there's nothing to suggest all events will have the build-up recipe hunt that Bunny Day did), then we'll get the update before the 22nd.

That's still a week away, so it's no surprise it's not out just yet, especially with the virus issue.
 
Usually smaller events like earth day are a single day event, I’m picturing something like weeding day in NL?
And honestly we’ve gotten more info than we normally would from Nintendo, especially in regards to NH, so like... I’m not mad. Most things are usually a surprise for us AC players lol.
 
it's still a week out and it's not a "major" holiday event so i'm not worried we haven't heard anything yet. i would say if we still know nothing like a day or two before earth day then it would be worrying.
 
We know an earth day event is coming, that's enough for me. I'm content to wait and be pleasantly surprised by what comes of this. I don't need to know every detail of every event before they happen.
 
OK, I've got a feeling that whenever we get an update it's going to be on the 19th or 20th of the month (like the Bunny Day event was), so we're probably going to get more in-depth info about it on Monday when it's released.

Hopefully there'll be a new letter from Nintendo with some kind of DLC gift as well as something for NSO users to get with Nook Miles, too.
 
I wasn’t expecting Earth Day to be a week-long event—if anything I’m slightly dreading the possibility now that people have put the thought on my mind lol

It’ll likely just be a day or two event, with the potential of some permanent additions (Leif? Gardening Shop? Bushes?) who am I kidding it’s probably just a buncha weeds

i laughed.
i hope people aren't expecting too much. it probably really isn't that much of a big event. so i don't wonder about it that much, if i do so, i'd end up disappointed.

they might be busy fixing the void/moved out glitch though.

Glad to entertain ^ェ^

My expectations are quite low but I’m still looking forward to it, if that makes sense. Really hope you’re right about them fixing things (and maybe adjusting some others, like increasing the campsite villager spawns)
 
This is the first I heard about an earth day celebration and let me say I am EXCITED so cool as long as I don't have to fish out any more eggs or chop eggs out of everything else
