Animal Crossing players searched New Horizons for perfect fruit, but did they find any?
Three weeks into Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Your shops are open, your island fills with new residents, and you owe Tom Nook more bells than you admit. The game met or surpassed fan expectations by simply sticking to its winning formula. There were almost zero complaints. However, fans start wondering if New Horizons misses a prominent feature of previous iterations of the game. Is game perfect fruit?
Perfect fruit was delicacy in New Leaf. Your native fruit's familiar shine replaced by the shimmering, freshly glossed perfect fruit surface. Those lucky enough to find it could plant perfect fruit trees, grow more perfect fruit, and sell their perfect fruit in foreign markets for up to 3,000 bells. A heavy price compared to Timmy and Tommy's meager 500 bells for far-from-perfect fruit. Perfect fruit is a great way to make bells fast, so fans keep their eyes peeled for perfect fruit while playing New Horizons.
Has anybody found perfect fruit?
No. No. New Horizons has millions of downloads and millions of players. Players across the globe have been catching bugs, casting lines, planting trees, and decorating homes for over three weeks. Yet no morsel of perfect fruit was found. Isn't this perfect fruit in the game? Very likely. If New Horizons found perfect fruit, it would have been found by now. So far, it seems there's no perfect fruit. But hope still exists!
Will perfect fruit exist?
Perhaps. There is an important distinction between New Horizons and previous Animal Crossing titles. As a Nintendo Switch game, New Horizons will see regular updates as time goes on. This means adding features as Nintendo sees fit. They may even plan to release perfect fruit in the near future. Some major updates have already emerged, including a patch that fixed a bug that prevented balloons spawning over islands. Many more updates are likely to roll out in coming months as the kinks of the game are ironed out. It wouldn't be surprising if perfect fruit headlines an upcoming update's patch notes.
