The Animal Crossing 2.0 update was released over a month ago but it is truly the gift that keeps on giving. It introduced a ton of new features for the winter season, which was a month after the update was released along with new items and events as well. It was the final major update planned for the game but it was intended to keep rewarding players well after it was released.

Animal Crossing players are still finding items that were introduced in the 2.0 update even today. These are locked behind certain activities and sometimes time locks, but it gives players more to do and work towards. Here are a few of the lesser known items that players can unlock.


Animal Crossing items that players still need to unlock

Katrina has been one of the most popular additions that the 2.0 update brought to Animal Crossing. She controls the fortune on the island and can give players good and bad fortune each day.
