Animal Crossing: New Horizons is getting another update next month, with some features from Animal Crossing: New Leaf making a welcome return.

Dropping a new trailer over on Twitter, the update - which arrives on 3 July - will see the return of swimming and diving, with players able to grab new sea creatures to donate to the museum. Pascal - a swimming bear with a penchant for scallops - will also return, giving you DIY recipes in exchange for said scallops.

As well as that update, Nintendo also revealed that a second summer update will be arriving in August, though there’s no word on what will be included in that just yet.

Check out the trailer below and let us know if you’re hyped to take a dip in the ocean!
