Each month in Animal Crossing: New Horizons brings new fish, bugs, and seasonal items. Players can also collect new deep sea creatures when diving.
September is arriving in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which brings a range of new bugs, fish, and seasonal items. Players should take this opportunity to add to their collection and either complete their museum or make further progress. In this guide, you will learn how to gather everything the month of September brings to the island.
Collecting various bugs, ocean creatures, and fish is typical for the series. Players can also purchase and display art in Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘ museum. Each month is an exciting time to return to your island for further adventure. September is critical because Summer critters will soon be replaced by their Fall equivalents. Both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres have a different list of fish, bugs, and deep sea creatures. September also only has one major event and three minor celebrations.
