Here’s the announcement trailer from Twitter, which was shared by “Tom Nook.”

The main attraction is that Animal Crossing swimming has returned. When people get a wet suit in the first Animal Crossing: New Horizons Summer Update, they’ll be able to head out into the ocean. There, they can dive for new sea creatures or meet Pascal the otter. Pascal will provide recipes for new items if you have scallops for him.

There’s also an old NPC with a new possible opportunity. Gulliver now has a pirate look, which will result in different rewards.

Here are some screenshots of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Summer Update Wave One content.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available for the Nintendo Switch.
