Now that Spring is fully underway in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nintendo has added a range of new items to welcome in the season. 

First of all, players will notice that a few trees on their island have started to resemble cotton candy as cherry blossom season kicks off from April 1, make the most of it while you can though as the trees will return back to their usual green hue by April 10. During this time, players will be able to catch floating cherry blossom petals and use them to craft Animal Crossing: New Horizons cherry blossom recipes.

As for the new items added to the game this month, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players will be able to pick up the Forsythia potted plant item from Nook Shopping for 1,000 bells. This item is to celebrate the South Korean annual holiday of Singmogil, which encourages South Korean citizens to plant trees.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
