Animal Crossing: New Horizons Festivale Event on 2/15; hints Mario Crossover in March

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has released a video for their newest Festivale event, inspired by Carnival. The event itself will take place on February 15th, but the update will be available on January 28th.. The update will feature new reactions, clothing, and seasonal items to coincide with the new event. With the Animal Crossing: New Horizons update videos, they always show when the next update is currently scheduled for, and this one was no exception. In March, a Mario crossover seems to be on the horizon. All we got was Mario's Star and Mushroom; just a small tease of what is to come. Given that March coincides with the end of the year of Mario, it is no surprise that the update is currently being scheduled for then.

You can watch the video down below,

Author's Note: Okay, maybe I will have to dust off my copy of Animal Crossing. What are your thoughts? When have you last played? Let us know!

Interested in what the Mario items are.

We did get a teaser back in September's 35th Mario Anniversary direct but they didn't reveal anything then either.

Hoping for some neat decorations and maybe some outfits based around Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi and Bowser at least.

Considering Mario-themed items have been in Animal Crossing games since the GameCube one, I expect to just see those coming back.

 

Glad to see they're holding a memorial for Mario when he ends on March 31st

 

Who's willing to bet the items will be time limited?

If it's a Mario Day event, they will.

But unlike real life, you could always travel back to it

 

you know they confirmed this ages ago

I mean we haven't much news at all so far so it's understandable

It's also the first time since September that the Mario stuff in NH was ever acknowledged, so the reminder is fair to make even if we already knew it.
