5 years ago Justin 1 Comment

New server maintenance for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been announced by Nintendo this evening to prepare for the major Fall Halloween Update introducing pumpkin growing and more!

We recently received an in-game notification on our Nintendo Switch while playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons alerting us of the incoming maintenance set to begin at 5:55PM Pacific Time / 8:55PM Eastern Time.

More complete details of the maintenance can be found on the official Network Maintenance Information / Operational Status page on Nintendo’s official website, which we’ll cover below.

According to the status page, both Animal Crossing: New Horizons network services and the NookLink service within the Nintendo Switch Online mobile application will be down for maintenance for an hour and a half or so beginning at 5:55PM Pacific Time / 8:55PM Eastern Time and ending at 7:30PM Pacific Time / 10:30PM Eastern Time.

UPDATE: The Fall Halloween Update has officially been released! Check out our Pumpkin Farming and Spooky Set Items guides for more details on the new additions.
