Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been melting the hearts of Nintendo gaming fans worldwide since it launched on March 20.
It has provided the perfect escapism for gamers around the globe during lockdown and shows no signs of slowing in popularity with fans of all ages.
New Horizons takes the best elements from Animal Crossing’s 20 years of history and distills it into an expansive slice-of-life simulator that warms the soul.
The latest game in Nintendo's long-running franchise sold 13.41 million copies in the six weeks following its launch.
In New Horizons, villagers are offered the chance to sign up for a “getaway package” on a deserted island presented by Tom Nook - a money hungry racoon.
As far as Animal Crossing’s story goes, that’s about it.
Players are free to roam their village, set about daily tasks like weeding and watering flowers as well as cataloguing the local fauna in the form of bug catching and fishing.
Animal Crossing operates on a regular calendar and clock, meaning that events within the game happen in real time.
In summer players can expect to see sharks and a month-long wedding event with over 40 collectibles.
And let's not forget the meteor showers where star fragments can be collected and crafted into something with an astrological theme.
