Bunny Day is a fun and exciting part of the Animal Crossing universe that acts as a stand-in for the Easter period of the year in the game. The Easter bunny shows up, eggs are abound, and there’s plenty of new items and decorations to collect. With that in mind, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has dropped some new patch notes, including the kick off of the latest Bunny Day seasonal event. We’ve gathered that and the rest of the full patch notes here!

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 1.9.0 patch notes launched on the Nintendo Support website on March 18, 2021. The headliner of the notes is definitely the Bunny Day seasonal event, which has been updated. Starting on April 1, Bunny Day mascot Zipper will show his eerily happy face and show up to start dancing and usher in a new year of Bunny Day egg hunts and fun. There are also other cool new additions like the Animal Crossing x Sanrio collaboration and new Custom Design Editor+. You can see the full notes below.
