Nintendo releases new Animal Crossing Switch artwork
New Horizons set for release in March 2020
Nintendo has released new artwork for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, ahead of the game’s release in March 2020.
The new artwork showcases among other things, some of the character customisation set to feature in the game.
New Horizons was originally scheduled to release in 2019, but was delayed partly to avoid an unhealthy crunch period for the game’s developers, according to Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser.
The most recent New Horizons trailer showed off idyllic island life during Nintendo’s E3 2019 briefing.
In-between crafting items, planting flowers, and sitting by a roaring campfire, the islanders were seen sat by the ocean’s edge, watching the waves.
“Players embark on an ultra-exclusive Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package and enjoy a peaceful existence full of creativity, charm and the freedom to roll up their sleeves and make their new life whatever they want it to be,” Nintendo said via a press release.
“Players can collect resources they can craft into everything from creature comforts to handy tools as they set up a homestead they can decorate freely, both inside and out.”
