An island getaway on the horizon
Here's some much-needed good news: Animal Crossing is back! The beloved franchise's latest entry, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, was released at the end of last month. This is the first mainline game in the series since 2012 (though, there have been spin-offs in the years since). It's a welcome arrival, offering all those people stuck indoors due to the spread of COVID-19 a sunny escape.
In New Horizons, you take part in a special getaway travel package courtesy of Animal Crossing character Tom Nook (known in Japan as Tanukichi). You then move to a remote island (in your choice of the northern or southern hemisphere), and there you pitch a tent, fish, collect wood and craft things. As the game progresses, you can build a house and bring more civilization (and life) to the island. As with previous Animal Crossing titles, New Horizons takes place in real time and corresponds to the seasons.
