In the early hours of this morning (for the UK at least), yesterday for the USA, we finally got the long awaited update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Players eagerly downloaded the fall update and all its spooky features with many diving straight into growing their pumpkin patches.

The pumpkin starters are available to buy from Nooks Cranny and you can also grab them from Leif when he visits. There is no way to tell which colour pumpkin you will get once planted it is totally at random.

However one thing we have learned so far is that if you water your pumpkins everyday you can start to grow those bunches of 2 or 3 what we noticed in the trailer.

Although officialy the Halloween features don’t come into play until tomorro October 1st, some players have time travelled forwards in order to access these new items and DIYS.

So far we have seen some fantastic pumpkin patches, and we’ve compiled some of our favourites to provide you with that well needed inspiration.
