Players are wasting no time in discovering everything that’s new, though one particular find is melting hearts on Reddit.

Of course, this revelation means that ACNH fans simply must find one — here’s the need-to-know info on its location.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons: How to get the ACNH Bear Backpack
Here’s how to get the new Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bear Backpack cosmetic item:
- Download the ACNH 2.0 update on Nintendo Switch.
- Visit the airport and travel to Harv’s Island.
- Build Kicks’ new shop on Harv’s Island.
- Visit Kicks’ shop and purchase the Bear Backpack.
Kicks isn’t a new NPC in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, previously appearing on players’ islands as a traveling merchant. Now, however, users are able to build him a permanent home and browse his clothing accessories whenever they like.
The fashionable skunk has plenty of stock, but it’s the Bear Backpack that’s causing a stir on Reddit. Dubbed “Animal Crossing’s newest baby” by thread creator u/-savnav, the post currently has 1.3k upvotes and climbing. Redditors seemingly can’t handle the cuteness, with comments like “WHERE IN THE SWEET HELL IS THAT” and “HYPERVENTILATING. I am absolutely STOKED for new bear items!!!!!” summing up the general mood.
For anyone that caught “bear items” plural there, yes, there is in fact more; an ACNH Panda Backpack is also available to purchase from Kicks. Either choice will make a great addition to users’ wardrobes — especially if they have the player bear outfit, making it possible to roleplay as the parent.
