This is the promotional video released on January 26, by Nintendo's official account on YouTube.
The January Update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons was released on January 28, 2021 (Thursday) at 8:00 PM EDT.
However, the new events won't be playable ahead of time, so there is not a lot to do until February 15 when Festivale is on!
As thanks for downloading the update, you will receive a letter from Nintendo and a gift - a pair of Maracas!
As new events are time locked, you can't time travel to access the events before the specified event date. Once officially released, you can time travel to them at any time, even after the event has ended.
| Event Date: | February 15 |
|---|
The Festivale event will be held every 15th of February. Pavé will appear on your island to celebrate the event!
