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.

The Cath Kidston prints are available to download in the game via the Able sisters’ clothing shop on your island.
