Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nintendo’s simulation game which is the fifth in the series of Animal Crossing, is receiving an update to the creatures found on the islands in May 2022 with the fish in the game being reshuffled. Fishing plays quite a significant role in the Animal Crossing series, with players having the ability to gather items including fish, crafting items, and customizing the island to their taste.
Depending on the hemisphere of the players, the fish that can be found in the water bodies of the game will vary. Every player has their own island to modify in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and they will know the availability of the fish at their designated fishing spots—which is going to be shuffled in the May 2022 updates.
