Island Simulation for Nintendo Switch

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a life-simulation game for the Nintendo Switch platform. Players arrive on a deserted island and shape it into a personal paradise through exploration, decoration and community building. The ESRB rating of E makes it suitable for all ages. This Limited Edition release carries model number 045496596439.

Upgrade from Earlier Entries

The title introduces a robust crafting system that lets players gather materials to construct furniture and tools, expanding on the customisation options of previous Animal Crossing games. Real-time progression matching actual seasons and time of day adds a new layer of daily discovery. The jump is worth it for players who want deeper creative control over their virtual environment and a persistent world that evolves throughout the year.

Online and Local Multiplayer Limits

Multiplayer features require additional accessories, a Nintendo Switch Online membership and a Nintendo Account, all sold separately. Internet access is mandatory for online play, which is not available in every country. Local co-op also needs extra controllers. Solo players can enjoy the full single-player experience without any of these requirements.
