Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Updated Guide

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (あつまれ どうぶつの森 Atsumare Dōbutsu no Mori?, Animal Forest: Gather) is a real-time social simulation video game developed by Nintendo. It was released on March 20, 2020, and is the eighth (and newest) main-series game in the Animal Crossing series, after New Leaf. The story starts with the player living on a deserted island as part of Nook Inc. Getaway Package.

Compared to previous installments, New Horizons' aesthetics are even more detailed, with more realistic flora, detailed characters, intricate furniture, and weather patterns.

New Horizons also introduces new features and mechanics, such as pole-vaulting over the river, cliff construction, waterscaping, and the introduction of crafting materials into the main series games, which had previously only been seen in Pocket Camp.
