A new month in Animal Crossing: New Horizons doesn’t just mean new fish and bugs to catch, but also a handful of fish and bugs that are going away. You can hit up last month’s list to see what’s missing now that April is over, but if you want to look ahead and focus on what’s going away in June, we have you covered. Whether you have a Northern or Southern Hemisphere island, here’s every fish and bug leaving Animal Crossing at the end of May.

Fish And Bugs Leaving After May

Fish are first spotted in bodies of water as shadows, which come in a variety of sizes. We have a fish shadow size guide you’ll want to use to get a better idea of what the shadow sizes (which we label 1-6) look like in-game. All fish listed below have their corresponding shadow size next to them for easier identification.

Northern Hemisphere

Fish	Location/Size	Time	Price
Golden Trout	River (Clifftop) / 3	4 PM – 9 AM	15,000
Oarfish	Sea / 6	All day	9,000
Loach	River / 2	All day	400

The golden trout is among the most valuable fish in the game–it’s also new to the Animal Crossing series! It only spawns in clifftop rivers, just like the rare stringfish, so if you’re going to focus your efforts on fishing this month, you might want to grab your ladder and be on the lookout for this one. One of the best ways to catch rare fish is on a deserted island that has the right layout, since fish spawn more rapidly on Mystery Tours than on your own island–better spawn rates means less time crafting fish bait, though that is certainly recommended as well.

Also saying goodbye after this month is the oarfish, which won’t return until December. This massive fish can be caught at any time of the day in the ocean, and it’s the biggest shadow size, so spotting them is easy.

Mole Cricket	Underground	All day	500

Among the handful of rare creatures in New Horizons, the mole cricket is one of the weirdest to catch. It isn’t the most uncommon bug, but it is one of the easiest to miss if you don’t know where to look. Check out our guide on how to catch a mole cricket for more details.

Southern Hemisphere

Fish	Location/Size	Time	Price
Golden Trout	River (Clifftop) / 3	4 PM – 9 AM	15,000
Barred Knifejaw	Sea / 3	All day	5,000
Char	River (Clifftop) / 3	4 PM – 9 AM	3,800
Ray	Sea / 5	4 AM – 9 PM	3,000
Mitten Crab	River / 2	4 PM – 9 AM	2,000
Guppy	River / 1	9 AM – 4 PM	1,300
Sea Horse	Sea / 1	All day	1,100
Cherry Salmon	River (Clifftop) / 3	4 PM – 9 AM	1,000
Neon Tetra	River / 1	9 AM – 4 PM	500
Zebra Turkeyfish	Sea / 3	All day	500

The golden trout is a newcomer to the Animal Crossing series and one of the most valuable fish in New Horizons. It’s also, as it turns out, one of the few critters that isn’t around year-round, but has identical spawn months between Northern and Southern Hemisphere islands. As mentioned under the Northern Hemisphere table, you’re going to want to focus on clifftop rivers to catch this one. We recommend finding a suitable deserted island to take advantage of the more rapid fish spawn rates.

Bugs	Location	Time	Price
Orchid Mantis	On white flowers	8 AM – 5 PM	2,400
Migratory Locust	Ground	8 AM – 7 PM	600
Walking Stick	On trees	4 AM – 8 AM 5 PM – 7 PM	600
Violin Beetle	On tree stumps	All day	450
Mantis	On flowers	8 AM – 5 PM	430
Long Locust	Ground	8 AM – 7 PM	200
Rice Grasshopper	Ground	8 AM – 7 PM	160
Monarch Butterfly	Flying	4 AM – 5 PM	140
Cricket	Ground	5 PM – 8 AM	130
Flea	Itchy villagers	All day	70

If you have a Southern Hemisphere island, May is your last month to catch a flea. The flea is one of the most elusive bugs in New Horizons–check out our guide on catching fleas to learn where to look.

Also, if you’re having trouble catching mantises, try approaching them slowly with your net out. Otherwise, they’ll hop into a defensive position before scurrying away. Your best bet is to slow down around flowers, walk instead of run, and keep an eye out. The regular mantis is bright green and the orchid mantis is a very, very light pink and white.

While the Last of Us Part II has finally gotten an official release date, many of the details surrounding the HBO Last of Us TV show are still unknown. Back on March 6, Sony and Naughty Dog revealed that they would be teaming up with HBO to create an adaption of the popular series. In a recent interview with Fandom, Troy Baker has shared some news about the show.

Baker voiced and performed as the main character Joel in both the first game and the upcoming sequel. While the actor revealed that he hasn’t had much to do with the adaptation, he has a close friendship with Neil Druckmann, writer and executive producer of the TV and game series. Baker is also a massive fan of Craig Mazin, the head writer of HBO’s Chernobyl, who is writing The Last of Us TV show with Druckmann.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Craig Mazin for a while now,” Baker said. “So I was a massive fan [of the HBO series] going into it, not just because of Chernobyl, but because of [Craig] as a writer … he’s like the band that the bands listen to – everybody likes Craig! So I started following him on Twitter and he follows me back and I’m like, ‘Dude, I’m a massive fan of yours’, and he’s like, ‘I’m a massive fan of YOURS!’ We had this great Twitter DM love going back and forth.”

“The thing that encourages me most [about the HBO show] is that while there were a lot of people in Hollywood that stood up and took notice [of The Last Of Us and its success] and were thinking, ‘Oh, a lot of people like this–we should turn it into a movie’, Craig came at it from a fan’s perspective. He just wants everybody to know this experience,” Baker said.

The actor went on to speak about how he asked Druckmann about why he wanted to make a TV showin the first place when the games are so strong.

“I asked Neil once, why even do a movie or a TV show?” Baker said. “What if this story can’t be told [outside of video games], why go through that effort? I remember when he was writing the film script and the challenges that he faced, and he said, ‘Because the reality is, there are people that will–for whatever reason–never pick up a controller and play this game, and I believe that Joel and Ellie’s story is that important to tell,’” Baker said

Despite Sam Raimi and Druckmann cancelling their original Last of Us movie project, Baker is confident in the TV adaptation working a lot better for the game’s episodic storytelling.

“I think that episodically you can far more effectively tell this story because trying to condense that experience of 16 hours into 2 hours is impossible… it goes past the point of distillation, into reduction,” Baker said. “I think being able to do this episodically and go, ‘We’ll do this for say, three or four seasons’ and be able to almost 1:1 tell [ the story of the game] presents a great opportunity for more people to experience this story.”

However, Baker still seems to believe that the original game is the best way to experience the story of Joel and Ellie.

“At the end of the day, man, the reason that it’s a game is because when you go from fall into winter — after Joel falls, and you think he’s dead–and you see that beautiful bunny on that pristine white snow, and the arrow… and then you notice for the first time that it’s Ellie by herself, standing there – and you push forward on the analogue stick–that is something that just doesn’t translate to any other medium but a game,” Baker said.

“Nothing else will ever be that. But I think [with The Last of Us TV show] we can come close. That we can give a different kind of experience for those who–for whatever reason–don’t want to have that type of interaction with the characters,” Baker said

The Last of Us Part II releases on June 19 for PS4. There is still no confirmed release date for the HBO adoption at this time.

Epic Games has announced some major changes to its Fortnite competitive game series for 2020, including the cancellation of its marquee event. The studio announced that all of the remaining Fortnite competitive events that were scheduled to take place in person, will now be conducted online. However, the Fortnite World Cup will not go forward as a digital event–or at all.

Epic said it’s cancelling the event outright “due to the limitations of cross-region online competition.”

Epic went on to say that it doesn’t know just when it will be able to bring back its in-person Fortnite tournaments, though the company is hoping for a return to normal operation by 2021.

The online Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS) will continue for the remainder of 2020, while the Cash Cups tournaments are also going ahead. Fortnite events run by third-parties are also expected to continue going ahead in an online format, Epic said.

The first-ever Fortnite World Cup took place in New York City in July. The event had a prize pool of $30 million, and 16-year-old pro gamer Bugha (whose real name is Kyle Giersdorf) ended up winning the series and claiming a $3 million prize. He then went on Jimmy Fallon’s late night TV show.

After dropping the first official trailer for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ashraf Ismail, the creative director of the new Assassin’s Creed title, has released a tweet in response to fan confusion on the pronunciation of the main character’s name.

The next Assassin’s Creed will allow players to play as either a male or female Viking. However, unlike in Odyssey, both genders will share the name Eivor. Eivor is a fierce Viking raider raised on tales of battle and glory. Players will lead a group of Norsemen that have been driven from their home in Norway by endless wars and dwindling resources in the ninth century CE. After crossing the North Sea and traveling to England, players will need to carve out a new future for their clan on the foreign land and fight against the forces of England.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Stadia in Holiday 2020. The Xbox versions will support the new Smart Delivery feature, giving Xbox One purchasers access to the Xbox Series X version as a free automatic upgrade when the console launches.

A listing for The Last of Us: Part II on the PlayStation website reveals some key details about the much-anticipated PS4-exclusive pertaining to its file size and installation details.

Players who buy the game digitally may need to clear up some space on their hard drives, as The Last of Us: Part II will require at least 100 GB of free space. This makes it the biggest-ever PlayStation exclusive, surpassing the file sizes of God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Spider-Man, according to GamesRadar.

The PlayStation listing also specifies that those picking up a physical copy of The Last of Us: Part II will receive a box that includes two discs. It’s thought that, like with Final Fantasy VII Remake and Red Dead Redemption 2 before it, the first disc is for installing the game and the second is for playing.

The Last of Us: Part II was originally slated for release in May but Sony delayed the game indefinitely due to the global environment and how it was impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Recently, Sony announced that, due an an “ease in the global distribution environment,” the company is committing to releasing The Last of Us: Part II on June 19.

Serious and significant spoilers for The Last of Us: Part II have leaked online ahead of release, so be careful on the internet.

The third year of Destiny 2 saw some changes in the way Bungie approached the live game’s seasonal content. Throughout this year, seasons have seen new story beats and activities show up for a few months, then disappear with the start of a new season. Bungie is changing parts of that approach in the game’s fourth year, allowing you to play seasonal activities for longer.

Bungie detailed the shift in its latest This Week at Bungie blog post. Starting with Season 12, which will mark the start of Destiny 2’s Year 4, Bungie will make seasonal activities, story quests, and rewards persist through the entire year.

That’s in contrast to the approach Bungie tried in Year 3 with its current batch of seasons. In another blog post, director Luke Smith explained that Bungie hoped to make Destiny feel like an evolving experience with its current approach. Storylines unfold over seasons, which give rise to specific activities. Those storylines wrap up at the end of the season and set up the story for the next, and the specific activities that go with each season–and their various loot rewards–vanish as well.

Smith said Bungie was going for a “you had to be there” feeling with its seasonal content, encouraging players to tune in and make memories during special events and stories that exist for only a limited time. But that’s led to a lot of players complaining about “fear of missing out,” where taking some time off from the game means you might not earn all the rewards from a season or see everything it has to offer.

Bungie’s new approach combats that: Activities and at least some rewards will still exist after a season ends, although how they work will change to accommodate the advancing narrative of the game world. The post says that Bungie is starting part of that approach in its next content season, which kicks off in June, when it’ll add new Engrams to the game that will allow players to earn seasonal rewards from the rest of Year 3.

Upcoming seasonal changes will also see fewer bounties. Right now, bounties–small objectives like racking up a number of kills with a certain weapon or against a specific kind of enemy–make up a big part of every seasonal activity. That’s been a complaint from players as well, as bounties generally just encourage you to play activities with slightly adjusted approaches, like favoring grenades or picking a specific kind of Super ability. Bungie says it’ll be moving away from an over-reliance on bounties in future seasons, while also adjusting bounty rewards so that they don’t feel like chores you have to log in and complete each week to keep your character advancing through a season.

All the changes sound like they’ll address the player concerns that have cropped up in Year 3, although it’ll be a while before those changes hit the game. Destiny 2’s Season 11 starts on June 9, and it’ll be about 10 more weeks before the beginning of Season 12 and Bungie’s adjustments to how the game works.

There are 80 bugs to catch throughout the year in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but none of them are as tricky to find as the mole cricket. It is the only bug in the entire game that requires you to play with sound on, and you won’t be able to see it when it’s around. It’s not the most profitable bug out there, but it’s still important for your Critterpedia, so here’s how to find and catch one.

How To Catch A Mole Cricket

• Requires: 1x shovel, 1x net, sound on

To catch a mole cricket, you’ll have to listen for, well, cricket noises. As you walk around your island, a friend’s island, or a Mystery Tour island, you might hear a rapid chirping sound. Walk around and listen for it to get louder; when the sound is at its loudest, you should take out your shovel and start digging in the immediate area. It will probably take a few tries, but once you find the spot, the mole cricket will pop out of the ground as you dig the hole. When this happens, quickly switch to your net and catch it.

Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to catch a mole cricket if you’re hard of hearing or can’t play with sound; you would just have to keep digging around your island until one pops out of the ground. You can, however, limit the areas a mole cricket could spawn by laying down paths, planting flowers, and placing items on the ground.

When To Catch A Mole Cricket

Mole crickets, unlike other crickets, are a winter and spring bug, but during the right time of year, they’re available all day. Mole crickets are one of the bugs leaving the Northern Hemisphere in May, so be on the lookout for one if you haven’t caught it yet; if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, May is instead the first month you can catch a mole cricket.

The full list of available months for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres is listed below.

Northern Hemisphere

• November, December, January, February, March, April, May

Southern Hemisphere

• May, June, July, August, September, October, November

More Rare Bugs

While the mole cricket is probably the trickiest bug in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it’s not the only one. Check out our guides for tips on how to catch the game’s rarest bugs.

In April, CD Projekt Red confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 crossed a major milestone when most of the world’s major ratings groups assigned ratings to the much-anticipated title. This includes Australia’s Classification Board, which is known for its strict ratings (remember South Park: The Stick of Truth and its crying koala censors?)

CD Projekt Red’s Kuba Kutrzuba tells GameSpot that Cyberpunk 2077 has received an R 18+ rating in Australia, which is classified as “high impact.” The game will feature sex, violence, and references to sexual violence. The big news here, however, is that Cyberpunk 2077 has not been refused classification, which was the case for Saints Row IV and State of Decay, among others. Those games needed to re-submit with edits to get approved for release.

Editing can be a controversial move, as fans want the full, unedited experience. Thankfully for Cyberpunk 2077 fans, that’s exactly what they’re getting.

“Receiving an age rating in Australia was an important milestone on our way to releasing the game in September,” Kutrzuba said. “We’re creating a mature title for a mature audience, so we were expecting R 18+. We haven’t had to alter the game in any way and Australian gamers are set to enjoy the full Cyberpunk 2077 experience.”

You can check out the box art for Cyberpunk 2077 in the images above, where you can clearly see the R 18+ rating description.

CD Projekt Red’s previous game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, also received an R 18+ rating in Australia. However, that game’s predecessor The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was banned in Australia and had to be censored to reach an MA 15+ rating.

CD Projekt Red’s John Mamais previously told GameSpot that he was expecting Cyberpunk 2077 to be approved for release in Australia.

“I was [concerned about censorship] because I know Australia has issues with drugs and the other thing is sexualised violence–those are the two things that can kill your product [in Australia],” Mamais said. “But I’ve been looking into it [over] the last couple of days. It seems like we’re safe. You don’t get rewarded for [using] drugs as far as I know in the game. The player doesn’t do any kind of sexualised violence at all where it’s really tasteless; we wouldn’t do anything like that.”

The full ratings description for Cyberpunk 2077 in Australia or other parts of the world has not been released yet, at least not officially. Brazil’s classification board published a rating for the game, and then deleted it, but not before people on Reddit captured it. The rating reportedly warned of sexual content, drugs, and extreme violence, as well as depictions of sex work and suicide.

Designer Paweł Sasko tweeted a screenshot of the leak saying, “You surprised? We don’t f**k around.”

The ESRB, the ratings group for the United States, has not yet published its rating, but it’s expected the game will carry an M-for-Mature rating.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on September 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC–and potentially the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
