Unlike its predecessors, Animal Crossing: New Horizons features a variety of islands to visit. They are much smaller than the main island, but players can travel there for recruiting new villagers, gathering useful items, and a lot more. Since everything follows a season in this game, Mystery Islands are not exception. They get changed according to the seasons and hemispheres.
April is here which means a reset. Many critters have left the islands and a new one came at there place already. New Mystery Islands have also begun to appear in the game, and data miners have already found all of them.
There are a total of 24 islands which have rare flowers, bugs, fishes which you can add in your collection. But, traveling these require certain prerequisites like ladder, vaulting pole.
All the Mystery Islands along with their description are listed below. Check them out and enjoy:
