We discover a method the Captain uses to decide which islands to take you to in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Many players who rebooted their island for update 2.0 have been finding that the Captain has been taking them to fairly common locations, blaming that to chance. However, there is something else: the game restricts certain special islands depending on the age of our character.

This is how we have been able to find out thanks to our friend Joseph, who has discovered that, if for example, we have not passed a certain date within the game world, we will not be able to access the island that was related to it. To illustrate it in some way, you will not be able to access the winter island (the one with snow and flakes floating in the air) if you have not lived on February 24 within the title at some time. This, of course, can be easily solved by taking a temporary trip (changing the date) or waiting.

We leave you with a list of the rare islands available in the Captain’s trips and the dates that you have had to have lived within the game to be able to access them (keep in mind that the dates correspond to the northern hemisphere, and, on the other hand, that if you have not passed these dates, in case one of these islands touched you, the Captain would take you to a common one instead):

  • Winter Island – February 24
  • Cherry Petal Island – April 10
  • Bamboo Island – May 31
  • Star Shard Island – June 15
  • Seashells Island – August 31
  • Autumn Leaves Island – November 25
  • Setitas Island – November 30
