Animal Crossing: New Horizon‘s free 3.0 update has dropped earlier than expected, bringing new features including the Slumber Islands, Resort Hotel, and the return of Resetti. One feature players didn’t see coming is the brand-new movement system, which allows players to move precisely one square at a time, allowing strafing and even a cute little hop.
The new style of movement has been added to aid in construction and decorating. The options are mentioned as part of a tutorial in the Island Designer app, though some players managed to discover the new feature on their own.
One player posted to Reddit after finding that pressing L now makes your character jump, while others discovered that this was only part of the new movement function, which allows precise movement one square at a time by pressing and holding L.
Compared to New Horizon’s usual free movement mode, the new feature essentially snaps players to the game’s grid, which should make decorating, pathbuilding, and general terraforming a much smoother process.
Beyond its functionality, the new movements are just fun, with players already planning how they will use the feature’s little hops or backwards walks to express themselves in game–why not try
