With June, we'll have a new season shift in Animal Crossing New Horizons, which means new events, seasonal items, DIYs, and critters on our islands, both in the northern and southern hemispheres. Let’s discover all details about ACNH June Update 2022.

Animal Crossing New Horizons June Summer Update 2022

June is the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and kicks off the snow season in the southern hemisphere. On our Animal Crossing New Horizons, new months and seasons will bring new content. In addition to the island landscape being transformed into a unique look for the season, new seasonal events will be celebrated, new ACNH items and DIY materials will be collected, and new critters await us on land and sea. So, it's time to start understanding the June schedule so you don't miss out on enjoying those seasonal events and getting some exclusive items.

ACNH June Island Aesthetics

Northern Hemisphere - Now we'll move on to something a little less obvious: improvements to the terrain surrounding the Animal Crossing New Horizons island. Players in the northern hemisphere have been seeing fully bloomed pink and white azalea bushes for the past few weeks. However, after June 1st, these will shed their blossoms and be replaced by blue and pink hydrangea plants. In addition, weeds in the northern hemisphere will become less colorful but more flowering. 

Southern Hemisphere - Holly bushes will blossom until mid-June for players in the southern hemisphere, after which red and pink camellia shrubs will bloom. Because the southern hemisphere has begun to turn into winter, weeds will begin to seem frosty and icy in the coming weeks. Finally, as the winter season progresses, gamers in the southern hemisphere will have the opportunity to see auroras in the night sky beginning June 11th.
