Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Walkthrough: Unlocks, Crafting, Upgrades

Animal Crossing: New Horizons takes you to a deserted island and lets you craft it into your own personal paradise inhabited by a unique, character-filled community. This premium book is both the perfect guide for getting the most out of island life and the ultimate reference for anyone who insists on having it all.

After what feels like an eternity - okay, it's only been eight years but we've been counting every day - a new Animal Crossing is upon us. And as our review explains, it's a pretty good one too.

Those first few days in Animal Crossing can be a bit bewildering - especially if you're new to this most eccentric of series - so here's a few handy Animal Crossing New Horizons tips to help you make the most of your first few days as an islander.

And, once you're fully settled on the island, check out our list of other guides at the end of this page - which includes various money-making opportunities and material sources - and will be expanded upon in the days and weeks after release.
Don't fret too much about those first big decisions

New Horizons offers a much more flexible take on the Animal Crossing, and many elements are there to be crafted - and re-crafted - by you. So when you're picking out your first pitch for your home, don't worry if it's not perfect - soon enough you'll be able to relocate (for a small fee, of course).
