Animal Crossing: New Horizons never ceases to amaze us with its true to life features and one of these features is the Aurora Borealis. What is Aurora Borealis? It’s natural occurrence of light seen in the sky and is also known as Northern lights. It displays a combination of red, blue, green and many other colors in the sky, which makes for a wonderful viewing. Many of us aren’t able to see it in reality, but the game makes it possible for us to experience it virtually. In this guide, we will tell you how to see Aurora Borealis in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
How To Get Aurora Borealis in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH)
You will be able to see Aurora Borealis in Animal Crossing New Horizons during the night, that is, from 7 pm. This will only happen if it’s winter season on your island. There is no way to initiate this phenomenon in the game and is totally random.
Maybe, it can appear during a meteor shower. Our guide on shooting stars and meteor showers in ACNH will give you an idea of when it can be expected to happen. The colorful lights will disappear pretty fast so be sure to catch it when it happens.
Players are also wondering if there is any benefit of the Aurora Borealis appearing in the game, but it looks like there isn’t any. It’s just a pretty sight that you can observe, enjoy and maybe take a picture of.
