At the time of its release, Animal Crossing: New Horizons took the world by storm, but players are now looking for new content more than a year after the original release. Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the latest Animal Crossing game from Nintendo, was a huge success, and it is unquestionably one of the best-selling games on the Nintendo Switch system. According to GameRant, New Horizons shattered sales expectations upon release, providing gamers with much-needed escapism and relief from the stresses of the real world.

However, more than a year after the game's release, it appears that a significant portion of veteran players are beginning to believe that they have accomplished everything they can with it. What else is there to do once an island and a house have been beautifully decorated? Players have looked to Nintendo to add new content free ACNH bells to the game in order to keep it from becoming stale as the number of activities has decreased.

Seasonal Events have been added.
Christmas and other seasonal events, as well as holidays, are important components of Animal Crossing's appeal. These events help to solidify the real-time progression of the in-game clock, create a distinct atmosphere in the town as the weather changes, and provide players with something to look forward to as the year progresses.

Unfortunately, as demonstrated by Bunny Day, holidays in New Horizons can begin to feel a little stale after a player has spent more than a year on their respective island. Since most holidays are centered on gathering the materials necessary to create a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture, bells ACNH can feel more like routine events to obtain special items than organic in-universe vacations. Nintendo should either add new holidays or update existing ones to make them more exciting and worthwhile to look forward to in the future.

More Shops are being added.
When the New Horizons' predecessor, New Leaf, was built, it included a plethora of additional and permanent structures for shopping in addition to the ones that came with the town when it first opened. Unlike the previous Animal Crossing games, New Horizons does not allow players to construct many new structures bells animal crossing outside of the museum, tailor, and shop that are present in every Animal Crossing title.

When compared to previous games, it's difficult not to notice that New Horizons is noticeably lacking in content. In the future, NPCs who come to visit you such as Label, Lief, and Kicks would seem to be obvious candidates for brick and mortar establishments, but for the time being, they're stuck simply standing outside the resident services building. Incorporating new shops into the game would help islands feel more populated while also fleshing out the game's progression, making them an absolute must-have in a future update.
