With this game patch, Nintendo is celebrating the franchise's 25th anniversary and providing a few bug fixes as well.

Players who download the update will receive an anniversary gift and special letter from Nintendo.

Downloading the version 3.0.2 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons gifts players with a new item called the Leaf Statue.

This statue is designed as Animal Crossing's iconic leaf icon.

In terms of size, this is a villager-size decorative item, and it even lights up.

The letter thanks players for 25 years of the franchise.

The design of the in-game letter also pays homage to the very first game with a stamp of the Nintendo 64 logo, which is the platform of the very first Animal Crossing game released on April 14, 2001.
