<p>Earlier this week, Nintendo <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/03/animal_crossing_new_horizons_version_1_1_0_update_arrives_before_the_games_even_out">revealed</a> it would be rolling out its first major update for <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/animal_crossing_new_horizons">Animal Crossing: New Horizons</a></strong> before the game was even released. This update – which is now available to download – will give you access to online multiplayer features and much more. There are also a few surprises in Version 1.1.0.</p>
<p>To thank users for downloading the update, Nintendo is giving out a free in-game Switch. When you press it, you’ll get the familiar boot-up screen and clicking sound. If you happen to have bought an Animal Crossing themed Switch, you’ll receive this same model in the game. This update adds a special Nook Inc. rug as well, which can be purchased with Nook Miles.</p>
<p>Apart from this, the first update prepares players for the Bunny Day festivities, which take place between 1st April – 12th April. When the date reaches 1st April (in real-time), a patch (Version 1.1.0a) will be rolled out to activate the event. In order to experience Easter, you’ll need to make sure you’ve linked a Nintendo account.</p>
<p>Last, of all, this update adds support for the NookLink app. This service (located within the Nintendo Switch Online application) will launch on 20th March, at 13:00 JST. NookLink, as <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/02/nintendo_reveals_nooklink_a_companion_mobile_app_for_animal_crossing_new_horizons">previously detailed</a>, allows you to scan in patterns with QR Codes and communicate with friends via text and voice messaging.</p>
