Animal Crossing Summer Update 2025: New Events, Items & More Changes

There have been some really interesting things shared recently in Animal Crossing New Horizons. From new LEGO sets to exclusive merchandise and in-game events, there's plenty to explore and enjoy. Read our Animal Crossing Summer updates 2025, we'll dive into the latest changes, events, and items.

LEGO Animal Crossing Summer Sets 2025

We have some brand new LEGO Animal Crossing sets which will be released this summer on August 1st. The lineup includes three new sets, each catering to a different type of fan—from museum lovers to home decorators.

The Blathers’ Museum Collection has been one of the most requested themes, and LEGO has finally delivered. With details like fossils and Blathers himself, it brings the game’s museum to life. Meanwhile, Creative Houses Season of Fun packs the most pieces but focuses more on seasonal aesthetics. The smallest of the three, Goldie’s Cozy House, still offers charm and is great for casual collectors or younger fans.

Animal Crossing Merch for Summer 2025

A ton of new Animal Crossing merch has been revealed by Nintendo, coming to their new San Francisco store, and hopefully other places soon, too. The first tweet reveals some really cool Animal Crossing kitchen wear. This stuff is absolutely amazing. The artwork is just so, so good. It's honestly fantastic to see so much Animal Crossing merch like this because usually it's only in Japan. So, it expanding like this really shows Animal Crossing's massive popularity now. There's even more new Animal Crossing clothes that you can get your hands on. Unfortunately, this looks like it's only available in the brand-new Nintendo San Francisco store. So, if you're not American, it might be time to start negotiating with your American friends so you can get some of this. However, Nintendo does try and sell its merchandise throughout the entire world. 

There is more general Nintendo merch being sold at the San Francisco store. Some of this was previously in Japan, so it might come to other places soon, too, which does actually feature Animal Crossing as one of the major Nintendo mascots. A lot of people have kind of taken this image to show Nintendo's absolute biggest characters, the characters that really represent the franchises.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Summer 2025

Nintendo has shared an image of all of the items that will be coming throughout the month of May. There's a lot of really cool stuff you can get here. Now, as you may have noticed, not all of the items are new. These items have been available in the past in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. So, for the more dedicated players who played the original game a lot, there won't be anything new or exciting for you to get. However, if this is your first time, it might be a great chance to get some of these beautiful spring items. Nintendo previously confirmed this in their April update, where they mentioned that there would be no new items for the months of May or June. So, the next new edition of content will be in July. After that, there'll be no more new content at all, which is definitely a shame, but of course, the game is called Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete.

New Event

There will be a new gardening event which will be happening on the 1st of the month. It has been confirmed that this will be Daisy May's gardening event. You'll basically be tasked with growing flowers to get a bunch of bugs. You'll be able to get gardening theme items like the scarecrows, leaves, trench of water, growing carrots, stew pots and etc. However, it might be a little bit disappointing that there's nothing new for you to get your hands on here.

Animal Crossing Aquarium Tour in Summer 2025

There are some fun updates on the Animal Crossing aquarium tour and collaboration with Sea Life that is still going on. The event will be ending this month at Sea Life Birmingham in the United Kingdom. You'll have until the 11th of May to attend that event. So, definitely make sure to go if you haven't already. 

A new one will be starting at Sea Life Brighton, which is a very popular location.
