Animal Crossing New Horizons: bulk crafting, Resetti, online mode and more long-awaited features finally arriving
After years of requests, Nintendo is finally listening to its community. Several long-missing Animal Crossing: New Horizons features are coming soon — and they could change the way you play forever.
Six years after its initial release, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is about to receive a major update that fans have been asking for since day one. No flashy trailer or massive announcement this time — just a quiet reveal on Nintendo’s official website. But make no mistake: this update is a game-changer.
Bulk Crafting Finally Arrives in Animal Crossing
It’s the feature fans have been begging for. Starting January 15, 2026, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players will finally be able to craft multiple items at once — a feature launching alongside the new Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade. No more endless hours spent building identical furniture one by one.
Players can now craft in batches directly from their material stock, making decorating and island building far smoother. This may sound minor, but for fans, it’s huge. Since 2020, the lack of bulk crafting had become a running joke within the community. Now, Nintendo has listened — and the wait is nearly over.
Resetti Makes His Big Comeback
Longtime fans will be thrilled: Resetti, the grumpy mole who once scolded players for quitting without saving, is back! But this time, he’s got a more practical role. In this new version, Resetti will run the Reset Service — a convenient system that lets you quickly remove unwanted items and decorations from your island.
No more tedious cleanup sessions. Just visit Resetti, and your space will be instantly cleared, letting you focus on what really matters: creativity.
New Horizons 2.0: The Full Nintendo Switch 2 Experience
Alongside these beloved gameplay tweaks, the upcoming edition of Animal Crossing: New Horizons introduces significant technical and social improvements:
- Sharper resolution and shorter loading times,
- Full mouse support for easier decoration,
- A megaphone feature using the console’s microphone to call your villagers,
- And, for the first time ever, multiplayer for up to 12 players.
Using the new CameraPlay and GameChat systems, players will be able to see and talk to each other in real time — bringing the island community to life like never before.
Ahoy, islanders! #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons – #NintendoSwitch2 Edition and a free content update for all players both sail ashore Jan. 15, 2026.
