Shiver me timers! Recent reports from Skip suggest there may be temporal anomalies occurring on nearby remote islands! Just today, Skip reported finding Booker from Hubble Town lost on an island. Other residents of Hubble Town report random teleportation events too! Flora had reported being teleported to Hubble Beach just this afternoon! The next time you jump on the Hubble Flipper for a remote island excursion, keep an eye out for any unlikely visitors needing rescue!

Ahem… Now let’s jump into the details of this update!

Skip’s Remote Island Rescues

Starting today, you may find residents of Hubble Town lost on a remote island! You can rescue the lost resident by speaking with them to offer them a ride back on the Hubble Flipper. Most residents will be overjoyed with news of escaping, so you may even get unique items or gifts as you help them out! You may find some stuck behind rocks, vines, and other hazards, so be prepared to use your tools and wit to help out!

It is important to note that appearances of residents is on the rise! Dr. Tuto has been notified of these temporal shenanigans and is working on it. The rate at which remote island appearances occur is boosted until July 3.

New Remote Islands Discovered

In addition to residents popping up, you may notice a new remote island or two… or eight now mixed in! These new islands offer familiar resources and new challenges to explore.

More… Trash?

Additionally, remote islands aren’t just becoming cluttered from people! Skip has noted islands appear to have more trash and driftwood scattered around. Be a kind soul and pick this up when you see it! The Hubble Beach Recycling Centre may just reward you for your efforts.

Full Update Review

New Features

• Added eight new remote islands and added four new layout/themes.
• Added five encounterable NPCs to remote islands. These NPCs have a ~17% chance to spawn with a maximum spawn rate of 50% per island. This rate will decrease at the start of our next community event & update on July 3.
• Some Hubble Town residents will comment on your rescue attempt the next time you see them back in town.

Updated Features

• Support for more island trash has been added – this makes it possible for us to summon 10 trash collectables per island if desired.
• Skip’s remote island introduction dialog will now display more consistently on island load.
• Skip will create a chat bubble if a resident needs to be rescued on an island. This will hopefully make it easier to spot a lost resident.
• Trash continues to spawn on Hubble Beach. Trash will no longer appear on the beach starting July 3, but trash will continue to appear on islands.
• Updated look and feel of a main questline island to make it more unique.

Thanks for reading, and safe travels on your next remote island adventure! ⛵
