Animal Crossing: New Horizons was first announced in 2018 during a Nintendo Direct broadcast. New Horizons will be sending players to an extremely charming deserted island, where they'll set up a brand new life for themselves.
The last Animal Crossing game, New Leaf, was released eight years ago on the Nintendo 3DS handheld console.
The franchise is famous for its focus on wholesome gameplay and an almost cathartic cycle of gathering and crafting.
New Horizons will also add support for up to eight players in local and online multiplayer, so be sure to enjoy this game with your friends.
