Animal Crossing™: New Horizons is a Nintendo Switch™ exclusive that offers a relaxing and creative experience like no other. Players embark on a new journey on a deserted island, where they have the freedom to build, explore, and design a world that is uniquely theirs. Every day on the island is a chance to enjoy a slower pace of life, get close to nature, and connect with a community of adorable pets.

It all starts with nothing
You arrive on the island with a basic inventory, but from there, all the possibilities open up. Every material you collect, every tool you craft, and every little corner you decorate helps turn the wasteland into a dream paradise. Your new life is not limited by quests or time – you have complete creative control over how you want to live, from the architecture of your houses to the terrain and landscape around you.
Every moment is tied to real time
One of the special things that makes Animal Crossing so vivid is the way the game time is completely synchronized with the real world. As the seasons change or the days get shorter, your island changes too. This creates a sense of connection and authenticity – you’ll be surprised to see snow falling in early winter or cherry blossoms gently falling in spring. It also means that every day you play the game will be a new journey, no two days are the same.

Connect with friends and share memorable moments
While living alone on an island is fun, Animal Crossing becomes even more wonderful when you share that world with friends. You can invite relatives to play, visit other islands via the local network or online, go fishing, catch bugs, or simply sit together and watch the sunset. These moments are not only fun in the game but also a bridge of real emotions between players.

Here, you will listen to each guest’s wishes and design their dream vacation home. Each request is a unique creative challenge, from interior design to lighting and living space arrangement.
Start your journey to slow living and beautiful living today
Animal Crossing™: New Horizons is more than just a game. It is a place where you can freely express yourself, live your emotions and find peace in a noisy world. That island is yours – a place to start over, to explore and to enjoy every passing moment in your own way.
