Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the first Animal Crossing game to hit the Switch and sees players embark on the special Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package. That means that you will be starting from scratch on your own island, customizing it as you see fit and showing it off to friends.
It essentially follows the same blueprint as previous Animal Crossing games, only there’s new features to try out such as crafting.
We can’t wait to get our hands on New Horizons, and we’re sure Tom Nook can’t wait to get his paws in our pockets.
