Nintendo had shared a trailer to highlight some of the new features that will be a part of this new update.
Players can sleep to wake up in a dream world where they will be greeted by Luna. Players can explore each other’s Island through Dreams.
“While dozing off, you may find yourself in a strange realm where you’ll be greeted by Luna. Luna offers visits to other islands as a dream, and with her help, you can share your island as a dream with others too. She will grant those who share their island a ‘Dream Address’ which players can exchange and use to visit each other’s island in a dream. In dreams, nothing is permanent because nothing you do is saved, so explore to your heart’s content.”
