Every new bug, fish, and sea creature coming to Animal Crossing in June

Summer is here. You can look all around you and the sun will be shining or being ravaged by climate change. Nevertheless, it’s June 1. For Animal Crossing: New Horizons this means you’ve got new Bugs, Fish, and Deep Sea Creatures to obtain. No matter how you play Animal Crossing, this is a big deal.

You could be a completionist aiming to fill up Blathers' museum after International Museum Day, or looking to make a quick Bell by pawning off the new critters for some quick bells. No matter your stance, here’s every new creature you can find during June.

Northern and Southern Hemisphere matters in Animal Crossing

At the start of New Horizons, all players have to select their Hemisphere in the real world, but what did that choice really mean?

New Horizons’ fauna differs based on where you live in the real world. Due to how seasons are experienced, folks in the Northern Hemisphere have access to a different selection of critters than those who reside in the Southern Hemisphere. The Northern Hemisphere is beginning to experience warmer months, so Animal Crossing reflects that, while also reflecting the Southern Hemisphere going into the Winter months. Their annual cycles run opposite in that regard.

Everyone will eventually have access to all the island creatures, but it will take quite a bit of time.
