Summary:

New Horizons is the fourth main entry in the Animal Crossing series of life simulation games from Nintendo. The series' arrival on the Nintendo Switch brings a multitude of new features as well as new environment as players find themselves on a deserted island and are charged with transforming it into a paradise.

New Horizons saw record sales of 13.4 million units sold in the first six weeks of release. Many attributed its success to a dramatic increase in people living under shelter-in-place orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The game received attention from celebrities and became an alternative setting for public events forced to cancel by the pandemic, such as weddings and graduations. In April 2020, Gary Whitta began hosting a talk show within the game on Twitch.
