It’s been two years since the addition of New Horizons to the Animal Crossing series. The Japanese video game company, Nintendo, developed this game for their latest console Nintendo Switch. Further, this game offers both single-player and multiplayer to enjoy with others.
The game leaves the players on a deserted island. Later, the players must upgrade the island to invite new villagers to live there. The other reason for New Horizons’ popularity is that it allows the players to explore their creativity and create unique islands.
