New Horizons 2.0 was initially scheduled for release on Monday, November 5th. The new update 2.0 is the largest update that the game has ever received. It brings Brewster’s coffee shop, The Roost, to players’ islands and it also brings Kapp’n to the game as well. Kapp’n can take players to special islands that follow their own rules – it might be nighttime on that island, or maybe it’s winter there even though your island is in Summer. 

Other features added to New Horizons in the 2.0 update include Harv’s new plaza, which basically turns a part of the game into the Nintendo 3DS’ Animal Crossing: New Leaf. There’s also the addition Gyroids, new Ordinances that allow you to dictate neighbor behavior, cooking, stretching, a pro decorating license, accent walls, a pro camera app, new hairstyles, extra reactions, new songs, and so much more.

It’s important to note that this 2.0 update is different from the upcoming Happy Home Paradise paid DLC launching tomorrow.

It allows you to design vacation islands homes for all types of villagers. Check out this article for more information about the paid DLC that will be launching tomorrow.
