Animal Crossing Switch

The new Animal Crossing game for Switch has a name and a release date. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is coming to Switch on March 20, 2020. You might recall that the title was originally slated for Holiday 2019. However, Nintendo have stated that the game won't be ready, so they've decided to push back the release date until 2020.

In addition to a title and a date, we also got gameplay footage and more information on features in the new title. This time, you'll find yourself on a deserted island, curtosey of the Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package. You'll start out living in a tent, and work your way up through home expansions.

There seems to be an emphasis on gathering materials and crafting furniture yourself, with the help of Nook's workbench. You'll also be able to place furniture outside, for the first time ever. A "mileage" system was also introduced, which gives you rewards points for comleting tasks on the island that can be spent with Tom Nook.

Other new features include southern hemisphere support for the first time ever. This means that if you're living in the southern hemisphere (or just in a fun mood), there's an option that will line up seasons with your region. Another brand new feature is local co-op. At anytime, a friend can pick up a joy-con and join in on the adventure.

Check out the trailer and Treehouse Live footage for more information and gameplay features. We've got a bit of a wait, but stay tuned for more information on Animal Crossing: New Horizons, coming exclusively to Switch next year.
