? The Next Update

[Burumun]

Because it interested me and I haven't seen anyone else post this yet, here are the dates and weekdays when the previous trailers and updates dropped:

• Winter (1.6): Tuesday, Nov. 17; Update on Thursday, Nov. 19
• Halloween (1.5): Trailer on Friday, Sep. 25; Update on Wednesday, Sep. 30
• Summer (Wave 2) (1.4): Trailer on Tuesday, July 28; Update on Thursday, July 30
• Summer (Wave 1) (1.3): Trailer on Thursday, June 25; Update on Friday, July 3
• April (1.2): Trailer on Tuesday, April 21; Update on Thursday, April 23
• (not counting the Bunny Day update, since it was announced and added before release)

So more often than not, the trailer dropped on Tuesday and the update on Thursday of the same week. Not sure if there's any reason for the exceptions, especially since both have a longer period between the trailer and the update - five or eight days is an eternity compared to two, and while both times the trailer was released towards the end of the week, I don't see why they then didn't release it on the following Monday. There aren't any office holidays around either, since that was my first thought.

Of course, with only five updates to go off of, this might not tell us anything except that we won't hear or get anything over the weekend. Like Sweetley and coldpotato, I don't think I've ever seen Nintendo announce anything on a weekend.

Also, in case anyone else was wondering, the anniversary of the game this year is on a Saturday, meaning they probably won't release an update the day of.

Well whenever we get it, it can't get much "late January" than next week, so we'll definitely get something soon.

I mean theres still tomorrow....and thats when its gonna come 100%. Like i wrote before, it would fit with the pattern of the day difference between the trailer dates and update release dates.

I kinda doubt that will drop the update on a weekend, as Jan 31st is a Sunday. At least I can't remember that Nintendo ever released something on a weekend (correct me if I'm wrong here). Looking at the previous updates, most of them came out either on a Thursday or Friday. There was only one (if I checked that right) which came out on a Wednesday (Fall update, Sep 30th).

Doesn't nintendo not drop updates on weekends? The 31st is a Sunday, so I think the latest the update will come out is Friday the 29th.

Yeah, you both are probably right. In that case I move my prediction for a reveal trailer on Monday or Tuesday and then the update will drop on Friday the 29th.

 

[meggiewes]

I wasn't expecting them to wait until the very last possible week of the month, but I guess Nintendo will continue being Nintendo and working on their schedule. Oh well. It will be something to look forward to!

 

[coldpotato]

The 29th (In Japan) is my guess too. My guess is that the new content is aimed at February, so they may drop it the last Thursday/Friday of January. Same as they did with the Firework Show update. Then the next update we get will be the end of March, perhaps March 19th at the earliest.

I was wondering about the March update and since it's confirmed there will be new mario items in it wondering if they will just release it on March 10th (Mario day)

We haven't even had a trailer yet. It's Friday 1:00am right now in Japan. Dropping it tomorrow would be a Saturday for them because at best we get the trailer when they wake up on their Friday. Very doubtful that would happen.

Yeah, I think they will release it next week. Wouldn't be too bad, though. It also means that it will be available really soon after the trailer drops.

 

[Nectar]

When do you think we will hear about the next update? What do you hope or think we will get or see?
Was the New Year stuff considered January's thing?

Maybe something like Brewster will be added in a February update? For valentine's day

Oh, I guess I thought they meant the update was coming tomorrow.

 

[Niks]

I really hope we will see the announcement today. If not, it will be a LATE late January

My guess is today but if not , not really an issue as im not expecting anything special in this update. Buncha new items and some reactions that personally bore me to death. Hopefully after these event updates they start rollin out shop upgrades, gyroids, other smaller npcs..etc
Things that actually would make gameplay more fun and engaging

Unfortunately, I feel the same. I like the festivals, but so many little things like gyroids, shops, shop upgrades and house customizations are missing and they desperately need to be in the game. I don't think stuff like that will be in this update. I hope I'm wrong, though.

Yep me too but my expectations are pretty low rn. We will see

I’m thinking the Jan update will be super late since Mardi Gras is apparently only sometime mid next month? I don’t really expect big changes in it either, just hoping for some nice looking furniture from Pave and maybe a new food item or two. Usually each update comes with some small additions or QOL as well. I have bigger expectations for the March update since that one is the anniversary update.

 

[lexy_]

My guess is monday 25th or Tuesday at last, I think we will have a mini trailer (almost 2 minutes) with pave showing his fabulous dance
I bet we will have the big update in march or april for the AC anniversary
it is sad because I don't play much the game right now and in march, I am gonna play story of season pioneers of olive town so I won't have a lot of time for AC, I will play a little bit of AC according to my schedule.
It feels like we have been waiting forerver for this game (talking about updates and the fact that it was delayed) and I am a little sick of waiting to be honest...

 

[Boccages]

I think we will get the announcement on Jan. 26 and a release on Jan. 28

Same here. The waiting is kinda meh and the updates haven’t been like, groundbreaking. I also don’t think there will be much to this update. They’ll probably save it for March/ April. I have high hopes for that one. It’s almosr been a year and the game still feel kinda incomplete to me :<
And same, I’ll play story of seasons too lol!
