This just in: Animal Crossing: New Horizons' free Summer update, coming on July 3rd, will let players swim and dive in 🔯the ocean to collect new items and meet new friends. New "mermaid" furniture will be𓃲 craftable.

Even Gulliver, the perpetually unlucky ♌seagull sailor, isꦛ getting an upgrade with the new patch.

The most notable part of the update, however, might🏅 be the inclusion of Pascal the Sea Otter, who will trade items he's dug up to the player i♋n exchange for delicious scallops.

Previous updates to the game have included the ability to build hedges and buy bushes thro🌞ugh new merchant Leif, as well as th♎e barely-tolerated Egg Festival.

Another Summer update will come later in the season, bringing untold 💜wonders.
