The Fall Update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons (version 1.5.0), known in Europe as the Free Autumn Update,[1] was an update released on September 30, 2020. The update primarily brought back the previously cut holiday, Halloween, alongside its host Jack. It was announced on September 25, 2020.[2] Players who downloaded this update would receive a Ring-Con item as a gift.

New features[edit]

Events and holidays[edit]

Villagers on Halloween.

Halloween, alongside Jack, returns in 1.5.0. For the remainder of October, the player can purchase Spooky Series furniture and one candy for day in Nook's Cranny. During the month of October, Able Sisters will sell costumes related to Halloween, while Kicks will exclusively sell the impish wings.

Pumpkin starts are available to purchase in both Nook's Cranny and Leif, and planting them will produce pumpkins for use in DIY recipes for the Spooky Series. There are four pumpkin colors: orange, yellow, green, and white. Only orange pumpkins are used in crafting, while yellow, green, and white pumpkins act akin to customization kit.

On Halloween itself, the player has to do trick or treating with their villagers, but unlike previous games, treating will allow the player to earn prizes, while being tricked messes up the player's skin tone and eye contact while also adding a face paint. Jack will roam around the island asking the player to give him either candy or lollipop. The former will give the player Jack's robe and Jack's face which will scare any villagers into giving candy. The latter will give the player a spooky carriage, the DIY recipe for Spooky Carriage, and a DIY recipe for a spooky wand. Failure to give these treats will result in Jack messing the player's skin tone, eye color, and face paint.

Other changes[edit]

The player changing their eye colors.
  • Two reactions can be learned during this event—Scare and Haunt.
  • The Exploring New Eye Colors gives the player more options of changing their eye colors to magenta, orange, yellow, pink, gray, or aqua.
  • Four new skin tones were added in this update. The Body-Paint Costume Tips unlocks the white, green, blue, and purple skin tones.
  • When going to dream with Luna, it is now possible to choose from a list of previously visited dream islands or a list of favorite previously visited dream islands to visit these islands.
  • It is now possible to hide items that are not for sale by pressing Y Button.svg when viewing the catalog via Nook Shopping.
