Animal Crossing is and has always been a growing craze among multiple generations.
We as a gaming society have grown through the many games including the OG Animal Crossing from 2000, Wild World, City Folk, New Leaf, Pocket Camp, and now New Horizons.
Many feel as though New Horizons came at just the right time, the start of a pandemic when everyone needed an outlet and a way to spend all their new found free time. So many people spent endless hours working towards 5-star rating islands and collecting everything possible. Thousands upon thousands of people have worked diligently to collect all of the fossils for Blathers, send off dozens of insect specimen for Flick to make models of, caught dozens of fish to satisfy C.J.'s streaming needs, talked to the Able Sisters about all their fashion needs, attended every K.K. Slider concert, and so many other things that we could list.
The latest update that launched on the 5th has brought so many more faces to light in the game and has made some of the faces that rarely popped up, more frequent. They have also included a DLC which we all know they could've just made into a separate game if they really wanted too, and most of us probably would've hopped on the bandwagon without question.
Some of the things included in the update are the ability to visit more islands by sailing away with Kappa, customizing the color of your fences for your island, increased house storage as well as accessing your storage from OUTSIDE of your house, and having brunch with friends in Rooster's cafe just to name a few things! Those are definitely some of our favorites. But you might find more enjoyment in the new characters you an get to live on your island, or the ability to add ordinances and have your people be more active at certain times, or maybe you like being able to see faces like Cyrus on the daily when you visit Harv's island. Those are all good updates too!
Let's not even start on the DLC! You have a job now. What are the odds of you WANTING to go to work? Probably very rare. But what about if you get to design homes for people and get new furniture out of it? What if you could start changing the homes of people living on your island?? What if you could make rooms bigger and add in walls to make them more like studios?!? Yeah, I think it is pretty worth it too!
So many new people will definitely be trying out the game now but also, all those folks who got bored with it because they achieved everything early on will likely be making a come-back to zip through all this new stuff like they did at the initial launch.
