Want to know what you can expect from the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons May update? We have the return of several events, including the May Day celebration, Museum Day, and the arrival of the Wedding season. That being said, seasonal events that are making a comeback aren’t going to quite be what players will expect, because Nintendo was very careful to tell fans that these returning festivities will have “new twists” to enjoy. Additionally, we also have the full patch notes for what’s new starting today.
