The next big update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been revealed, and it seems Nintendo is planning to heat up February. While most of us in the Northern Hemisphere will still be shoveling snow, Animal Crossing will be celebrating Carnival (or “Festivale” in AC world), with the feathery dancer Pavé visiting the island. You can check out a video overview of the February update, below.

Nintendo announced today that a new update for
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is on the way. This one seems a bit smaller than some of the other updates we’ve seen, though
Animal Crossing vets will likely want to partake in the festivities nonetheless. The update arrives later this week, and it adds a new event called Festivale to
Animal Crossing.
During Festivale, which will take place on February 15th, a new character named Dancer Pavé will arrive on player islands and stake out an area in their plazas for the entire day. Throughout the day, players will be able to catch feathers floating around their island and trade them to Dancer Pavé to “receive a passionate dance number in return.” In its announcement today, Nintendo notes that rainbow feathers are particularly rare, so catch those if you come across any.
