Summer is here, and what better way to celebrate than by bringing back swimming to Animal Crossing? The latest update for New Horizons has revealed that the swimming feature, first introduced in New Leaf, will be coming soon in a new free update. The free patch will be available to download on July 3rd, adding in catchable sea creatures, diving, scallops that you can trade to Pascal for DIY furniture recipes for a new Mermaid set, a pirated-themed Gulliver who will offer you new rewards for helping him out, and more. An additional update is also planned for August, with more free content planned.

NOOO!

I do like that adding free features like this enriches the gameplay a lot. It's not a rip-off like Pokémon. That's an unfinished sloppy game with premium priced DLC...
