Animal Crossing: New Horizons is officially coming to the Switch 2, but that's not all – it's also getting a surprise new update four years after Nintendo's last big patch… although the big news isn't proving so exciting for some fans.
Major Animal Crossing: New Horizons content updates came to a halt in 2021 with 2.0 (not counting bug fixes and more minor patches), with Nintendo explaining at the time that it'd be the final significant release for the cozy sim.

Most (including me, if I'm honest) gave up hope years ago.
