'Animal Crossing' updates bring new visitors and a museum art wing

Spring is in full swing in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and after the egg-filled Bunny Day event, there's still plenty more new things coming to the game over the next few months.

Nintendo announced Tuesday that Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be getting a handful of updates and new additions between April and June, including a new garden merchant Leif and shady furniture/art seller Redd, who will dock at the small strip of beach on the north ends of every island. Along with them comes new things to buy and do; Leif offers up new nature goodies like bushes to decorate your town with, and Redd's new paintings and sculptures can be donated to fill a new wing of the museum.

Some other new events were teased, including a nature day celebration and a museum day celebration with new tasks to do for rewards. One that particularly stood out is the May Day celebration, which appears to send players to maze islands where an old friend Rover happens to be hanging out in the background.
