Earlier in the week, Nintendo alike usual disclosed in an abrupt announcement that a new Direct presentation will be scheduled to arrive later in the week. This one in particular will cover the basis for the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons by sharing new information on the game’s added functionality and other niché elements new to the series.
Upon the majority of implemented features that surely will sway returning fans to pick up New Horizons, what truly stands out the most is the handful of customization aspects that you can implement with your new deserted island town. Here are some of highlights coming to the March-scheduled title:
For starters, Nook Inc. will hold a strong presence on this new isolated setting as we would expect. Once settling on this new venture, players will be granted with a NookPhone which will contain a bevy of helpful applications for players to utilize once deciding to make themselves at home. Hosting the suspected camera and map features on the smart phone, Nintendo adds that more will be updated to the game as time progresses for New Horizons.
On the discussion of your new mobile device, players new to the series or simply looking for some initiative can look towards the Nook Miles application. This digital program will provide users with challenges which they can complete towards exiting rewards ranging from paying off your getaway package to in-game rewards including Nook merchandise to dress your home or villager.
Among some of the new additions introduce more immersion to returning players, Nintendo goes to reiterate the 8-player island support for the game. For more interactive fun, the introduction of Party Play will allow players to invite up to three friends which players can explore the respected island of the hosting Leader.
Alike towns of prior entries, your respected island can be sculpted to your liking in a manner that has yet been experienced in the entirety of Animal Crossing. Built structures can be relocated at any moment which fans have been eager to see implemented to the franchise for a long time. Of course, interior design with furniture makes a return with the addition of exterior decorating will also be another aspect to customizing your unique island. But that is only half of the story for player interactivity with the world.
Once players have ditched their tent for a constructed home on the island, players will have the opportunity to obtain permits for their land: allowing players to go a step further and alter the terrain of the world now also. Rather than relying on your pocket ladder or river-crossing pole, players can construct bridges and stairs to modernize the landscape. Even more, users also have the authority to level the ground to your liking and even paint the surface to other elements like sand or stone for instance.
Nintendo announced that following the launch of New Horizons, the game will receive a slew of additional updates for free decorated for certain occasions and holidays. Owners of the approaching New Horizon or the already available Pocket Camp can also expect to receive exclusive items next month when the new title arrives to the eShop.
