That’s it. That’s the article.
CAN-DODO ATTITUDE
In all seriousness though, this one picture is enough to show exactly how transcending the latest Animal Crossing game is. I believe, and sales of the game can verify this, that in 2020 the Animal Crossing fanbase grew by millions. Whether it’s people like me, rediscovering the series after years of not playing the games or brand new fans of all ages, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is bringing everyone together.
PERFECT TIMING
It came at the perfect moment, when the world needed it most. I still remember fearing that I wouldn’t be able to get my copy of the game at launch due to the pandemic measures.
STRESS RELIEF
For people having to stay home when they would much rather be outside, Animal Crossing offers an escape unlike any other. The island getaway package Tom Nook offers helps us cope with the COVID-19 pandemic by keeping us sane and reducing stress at a time when we can’t help but be worried about what the future holds for us and humanity in general.
ALL ABOUT STRUCTURE
If you own a Switch, I would highly recommend giving Animal Crossing: New Horizons a go. If anything, it helps bring some structure into your life when everything is chaotic and up in the air. You will wake up earlier to do specific morning tasks. You will start planning out your day better, being productive when you need to and then rewarding yourself with an hour or two of stress-relieving game time.
It made my life better. Animal Crossing is a phenomenon.
