Plus, on Halloween night after 5 p.m., your island residents will gather in the plaza, which will be adorned with Halloween decorations, where you’ll receive a visit from a mysterious guest, Jack, the “czar of Halloween.” Halloween is a great time of year to jump in and experience this game’s unique approach to commemorating the seasons. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available in Nintendo eShop.

Gear up for adventure, have some Poké Balls at the ready and prepare to unravel the mystery of the regal Legendary Pokémon Calyrex.
