Ever since Animal Crossing: New Horizons released back in March, players from around the world have made absolutely impressive creations with the game's extensive resources. With so many playing the game at once, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has given so many people the opportunity to exercise their creativity in wholesome and meaningful ways. Though, out of all the cool creations that have been made already, one recent one stands out.
Animal Crossing has been around a long time. The first installment came out in 2001 for the Nintendo GameCube and since then, the series has gained an incredibly loyal following. So much so that an eighty-seven-year-old woman has logged over four thousand hours in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Nintendo made her a villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Players are given a large variety of options and an insane level of creative freedom when it comes to building their island homes. There have been numerous people sharing their creations online and some of them have gone viral.
A Japanese Twitter user recently revealed how they styled their island after Showa era Japan. The Showa era took place between the mid-1920s and the late 1980s and was what inspired the retro aesthetic of Japan during the period. Many other players have begun to style their islands with similar design choices and it looks amazing. This definitely goes toe to toe with some of the best island designs that have already been showcased online.
Animal Crossing is a series that has always been about self-expression and creativity. This newest game continues to prove that Animal Crossing is a game with limitless possibility. The ability to customize every single facet of the player's island has led to wildly different outcomes and creations.
Though, more than anything, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has given players from around the world a greater sense of community. In these difficult times, this game has given so many people something to bond over. In fact, a real museum from the United Kingdom is curating an online gallery of Animal Crossing smock designs, since the museum is currently closed to the public. This game continues to make so many people happy and it has shown no sign of stopping.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for Nintendo Switch.
