Everything about Animal Crossing: New Horizons' new Bunny Day event, from eggs to recipes

The first big in-game event for the recently released Animal Crossing: New Horizons is here in the form of Bunny Day.

Bunny Day is Animal Crossing's version of Easter. It takes place all around the world, and serves as a religion-neutral version of the traditionally Christian festival.

This year's Bunny Day is set to take place on 12 April - Easter Sunday in real life - and is planned to be an annual event in the game.

Here's everything you need to know about it:

What is Bunny Day?

Loading up the game for the first time after 1 April, you'll spot Zipper the Bunny milling about your island.

Talk to him and he'll explain a little bit about what Bunny Island means for you and your islanders.

Essentially, where certain trees on your island might have harboured pears or other fruit, they might now hold special eggs.

In fact, most areas of your island will be hiding these eggs, of which there are multiple varieties depending on where they were discovered.

In the rivers? Water eggs. Inside rocks? Stone eggs.

Where can I find eggs?

Here's a full rundown of each type of egg, and where they can be found:

Leaf Eggs: growing on cherry blossom trees

Stone Eggs: inside rocks - hit rocks with your shovel

Earth Eggs: inside cracks in the ground - dig these up the way you would a fossil

Sky Eggs: in floating balloons passing overhead - shoot them down with your slingshot
