Full Animal Crossing: New Horizons April Calendar

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been out for a few weeks now, and in an unexpected twist of events, the game has been uniting people all over the world due to the global lockdown brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the start of April marks the beginning of spring in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the game is set to bring tons of new activities for players to participate in.

Apart from new in-game events to celebrate the start of spring, Animal Crossing: New Horizons will also introduce fresh seasonal fish and bugs, and players can also celebrate the birthday of some of their favorite villagers. Now, for players who want to know everything that they can do in the game this April, here's a comprehensive guide of all the things that will happen in Animal Crossing: New Horizons this month.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Bunny Day and Earth Day

First, a couple of events are scheduled to occur for April in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The first event, which is called Bunny Day, was already commenced a couple of days ago, and the other, which will celebrate Earth Day, is set to occur sometime this month.

Bunny Day - A new event to celebrate Easter in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. As previously mentioned, the event is already live in the game until April 12, via a new update that brought the adorable yet slightly creepy Zipper T. Bunny as a visiting character who will also serve as Bunny Day's host. Throughout the event, players will find literal Easter Eggs scattered across the island, which they need to obtain DIY recipes that will only be available during Bunny Day.

Overall, there are 28 new DIY recipes available during Bunny Day, and 12 of those can be acquired through the collection of Easter Eggs. However, the remaining DIY recipes can be obtained by participating in the following activities:

Shoot down Bunny Day Balloons
Collect and open egg message bottles that wash up on shore
Talk to Zipper T. Bunny (even if he creeps you out)
Talk to other villagers

Earth Day - This event was previously announced last March 28, during the surprise Nintendo Direct presentation that was live-streamed by the company. As of the moment, not many details about Earth Day have been revealed except that Leif, who is the sloth from Animal Crossing: New Leaf will, serve as the event's host, and it is expected to launch on April 22.

Villager Birthdays

To recruit new villagers, players would need to have gotten far enough in the game to be able to travel to other islands via a Nook Miles ticket. This means that the player must have been playing the game for more than a day and have earned at least 2,000 Nook Miles, which is the cost for the ticket to visit other islands.

Although Animal Crossing: New Horizons won't pressure players to talk to villagers, continuously ignoring them will result in them leaving the island. Apart from talking to them on a daily basis, players should also be aware of each villager's birthday so they can attend their parties and even give them gifts on their special day. Of course, if the player is not to keen on a certain villager, they can always select them to leave the village, but ignoring them completely will do the trick.

However, if the player wants to keep their companions happy, then celebrating their birthday, and talking to them all of the time will be more than enough and may even prompt the villager to provide players with a DIY recipe. So, here is the list of all villagers that will be celebrating their birthday in April.

Similar to Buy Catching, Fishing is also another important activity in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Throughout the island, players can find a wide variety of fish that can be spotted either in the river, the ocean, or the river mouth, which is the spot where the river and ocean meet. Similar to Bugs, the month of April is set to bring new species of Fish, and there will also be a handful that players may not be able to catch after the month passes.
