REDMOND,
Wash., March, 2020 – Picture it: You just landed on your own deserted island
paradise. You instantly find your inner peace as you hear the soothing sound of
ocean waves. You set up your new tent and, before calling it a night, decide to
wander around the island to take it all in. Before long, you will be meeting
animal residents, crafting items and indulging in a variety of activities, like
catching bugs and sharing your virtual life with friends and family. Your
island life is just beginning and there is so, so much more to experience…
In the Animal Crossing: New
Horizons game, which is now available for the Nintendo Switch family of
systems, you’ll get to travel to a deserted island and create your own paradise
as you explore, create and customize your island life. Before you take off for
your island, you can design your character and then choose where to set up your
tent once you arrive – which you can eventually choose to upgrade to your very
own home! You can even customize the actual island itself by putting items like
furniture and flowers around the island and, after some time, can even adjust
the island’s terrain! As your island develops, new facilities and residents may
join your community.
“In Animal Crossing:
New Horizons, you can transport yourself to a virtual island paradise,”
said Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. “With relaxing gameplay you can enjoy by yourself or with friends
and family, the game is a breath of fresh island air.”
Starting today, free updates will be added to the game
throughout the year, delivering fresh seasonal content for you to enjoy. The
first update adds “Bunny Day” in April, as well as the ability to use online
features, which requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Follow the Animal
Crossing Twitter account for the
latest news and updates about the game.
Nintendo Switch Online members can now also use
NookLink, which is part of the Nintendo Switch Online app, to scan a Custom
Design QR Code pattern from previous games Animal
Crossing: New Leaf or Animal
Crossing: Happy Home Designer with a real-life smartphone and then
download them to Animal Crossing: New
Horizons. When connected online, it’s possible to talk with friends who
also have Animal Crossing: New Horizons
with the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app, using the smartphone as a
keyboard or for voice chat.
Additionally, those that link their Nintendo Account to their Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
mobile game will be able to order special items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and get 50 Leaf Tickets in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. For more

Whether playing online* or with others locally**, island
living is even better when you can share it. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can share an island with others,
show off your island utopia to family and friends or pack your bags and visit
theirs.*** Even without hopping on a flight, you’ll meet a cast of charming
animal residents bursting with personality. Friendly faces like Tom Nook, Timmy
and Tommy will lend their services and happily help you grow your budding
community, from opening up certain shops, to upgrading your home and decorating
it with furniture and accessories – some you can even design and personalize!

New Horizons is now available in stores, in Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo
