Social Simulation Video Game Animal Crossing introduces a new set of changes in its March update. This spring update means that everything across the end-to-end part of the game will be recalibrated according to the season.
According to Sportskeeda, apart from the new faces in the wildlife side of the game, new festivals will also be done.
Intact with the new update is the game's transition from winter to the spring season. This will now display rains and thunderstorms all across the map for some time.
This shift will also include the transition of wildlife animals from the ice-cold living organism to the blooming-spring animals.
The most ecstatic of the incoming visuals is the possibility of rainbows to be formed once every rain has finally come to a halt. All the incoming animals are enlisted below:
Sets of New Fishes

With that in hand, the update will bring new faces into the game, but it will also cater to new events that provide its players plentiful not your usual but limited in-game items.

Why do I bother to look out for these new changes?
Well, if ever you are a past player of Nintendo's Animal Crossing, you might feel nostalgic about how it grew since your last opening of the game.
Moreover, if this is news to you, here is what you need to know about the game.
The said social simulation game is in the development of Nintendo, a gaming developer giant. It is somehow a splice-of-life genre game as a player in-game will have to be interacting with various species of animals that can be fished, caught, and even hunted down. Yes, it is scientific per se. This is in reference to Nintendo's introduction of their game in 2001, where it was first coined as Dobotsu no Mori in Japanese, and in 2020 the latest version - Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
