New in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Animal Crossing: New Horizons takes you on a peaceful desert island where life is good. The new made-in Tom Nook experience allows everyone to forge a new life there from scratch. Time flows there as naturally as in our world, alternating day/night and seasons.

DIY

Island residents can craft many items, including tools and furniture from materials found here and there. You will have to go through the DIY workshops to learn how to use the DIY plans, which will then allow you to change the color of crafted furniture and decorate it with custom patterns.

NookPhone

Upon your arrival, Nook Inc. will provide several equipment and services necessary for a good life, including a NookPhone. This phone includes several applications, including a camera to immortalize all your moments and add filters, as well as a map to find your way around if you feel lost. Other apps will be added over time.

Miles Nook

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Think of players who like to have concrete goals. They should turn to the Miles Nook program, allowing you to take up certain challenges to earn miles. This currency is used to pay the costs of the Evasion formula and can be exchanged for in-game rewards such as Nook Inc. merchandise or tickets to visit distant islands.

Group play

Animal Crossing: New Horizons allows you to unite up to eight players on the same island. A resident can call three other players to explore the island at the same time through group play. The caller becomes the leader of the group, knowing that you can change the leader of the group at any time. Creatures and items found by Acolytes are stored in the Recycling Box in the Residents Office.

Landscape development

Once the island is well decorated, players will receive a permit authorizing them to freely draw roads and change the landscape changing river courses, cliffs, building points and much more.

Island excursions

Island excursions are hit or miss. The destination depends on the goodwill of the pilot. Once on these islets, players can harvest as many crafting materials or creatures as possible and bring them back with them.

Nook Link

Service integrated into the Nintendo Switch Online application, it allows players to use a smartphone to scan the QR Codes of the personalized patterns created in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and importing them into New Horizons. The application will also allow chat with friends who have the game and the app, text or voice chat. NookLink will arrive in March, shortly after the game launches.

At the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the northern hemisphere will start in the spring and enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Orientation and residents office
