Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Easter event has become almost universally hated so Nintendo has reworked it a bit.
On the surface, Animal Crossing: New Horizons may seem like a serene and relaxing title for you to pick up and play every day, but fans at the moment are enraged thanks to the seasonal Easter event, or as it’s called Bunny Day.
The event introduced eggs that can be found all over your personal island and be used as crafting material, but they were included in overabundance to the point where players were sick of the sight of them.
What didn’t help was that they could be discovered by hitting rocks and by fishing, replacing needed resources. It’s especially annoying as April introduced new fish to catch, but players were only finding more eggs instead.
In turn, this has led to mascot character Zipper being reviled by a good portion of the community.
The complaints seem to have reached Nintendo’s ears, though, as it has now released an update that has altered the frequency of how often eggs appear. They will become more common again on 12 April, which is the official date for Easter… sorry, Bunny Day.
Hopefully, fans will be able to explore their island and others’ without constantly coming across eggs and maybe they’ll start to treat Zipper with less disdain.
Nintendo will likely take the criticisms on board come later seasonal events, like Halloween and Christmas. Although the next one is Earth Day on 22 April.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available on Nintendo Switch.
