The month of August has just arrived in Animal Crossing and brought a lot of new changes. It also saw the arrival of a long awaited update.

Still, Animal Crossing players are constantly looking to the future and in this case, the month of September. Both months are packed with great events and items.

September is the last of the summer months, which means there will be a lot of activity. Here's everything coming to Animal Crossing in September.


September changes coming to Animal Crossing

The latest huge update was announced at the end of July, and the promise of more to come puts the next update at the end of the year, possibly November.

With that in mind, it's safe to assume there won't be any updates for the month of September.

Still, there's plenty to be excited about.
