Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the latest installment of the social simulation series created by Nintendo.
The game sees Nintendo Switch players take on the role of a lone human on an island whose aim is to create a society that flourishes by building shops, bridges and areas of interest for the island's residents.
Offering an aptly timed slice of whimsical escapism, New Horizons has taken the gaming world by storm during lockdown with its personalisation features one of the highlights of the game.
And now British lifestyle and design brand Cath Kidston has launched their unique prints on Animal Crossing.
The new prints aim to bring a sunny side to the popular game by providing players with even more choice to personalise their clothes and furnishings in a range of Cath Kidston's most iconic prints.
Cath Kidston is well-known for designing vibrant and eye-catching prints, so it's only fitting that these be shared with the Animal Crossing world.
The prints are inspired by British icons, vintage interiors and fondest childhood memories so there’s something for everyone whether you’re in your 30s or your teens.
The Cath Kidston prints are available to download in the game via the Able sisters’ clothing shop on your island.

Here are the three unique Cath Kidston prints available to download.
1. Button Rose
This print is the definitive Cath Kidston floral and has been a part of the collection right from the beginning.
This timeless classic, which was originally inspired by a roll of wallpaper at a vintage market, is a true homewares classic.
Gamers can use this print on anything from table cloths to cushions and covers if they want to inject a Cath Kidston classic into their Animal Crossing homes.
2. Strawberry Gingham
This Strawberry Gingham print was inspired by childhood memories of a favourite pinafore dress that Cath used to wear as a little girl.
Bring a bit of summer to your in-game experience with this vibrant print that features a repeated pattern of juicy, vibrant strawberries and delicate flowers.
Combined with vintage gingham, the design will look lovely as a cushion or table cloth.
3. Wheels and Wings Cadet
The Wheels and Wings Cadet print is one that looks as if it has been lifted straight from a child’s imagination.
Another of Cath Kidston’s novelty prints, this design features a collection of wheels and wings - from the iconic bright red London double-decker bus to boats and helicopters.
Ideal for personalising your cushions or bed covers within the game, this print will truly set gamers apart from the rest.
