Tonight’s scheduled maintenance comes a little over a month after the Version 2.0 Update released in early November last month.
With the maintenance, Nintendo has released another minor update called Version 2.0.4 after previously releasing other bug fix patches in recent weeks with Version 2.0.1, Version 2.0.2, and Version 2.0.3.
We’ll update this article with further details on the update’s contents when we can finalize them.
Keep in mind that you should expect this update to be a relatively low key bug fix focused update. Don’t expect any kind of new major content, because Nintendo would announce that in advance, plus we’ve been told that major new content for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has come to an end.
