Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.
Show off your island utopia to family and friends—or pack your bags and visit theirs. Whether playing online* or with others beside you**, island living is even better when you can share it. Even without hopping on a flight, you’ll meet a cast of charming animal residents bursting with personality. Friendly faces like Tom Nook and Isabelle will lend their services and happily help you grow your budding community. Escape to your island getaway—however, whenever, and wherever you want.
Polygon - "...crafting systems in this game are lovely."
The Verge - "the video game equivalent of a relaxing getaway…"
IGN - "... full of surprises."
GameSpot - "the ability to alter your island to fit your grand plans is exciting. "

Populate your island with Mii characters—and find out what happens when they all live there together! Create Mii characters based on family, friends, or your own original ideas—there are plenty of personality traits, little quirks, and physical traits to choose from—including some face customization options you haven’t seen before! Go deep into getting every detail just right, or create Miis quickly and easily by answering some simple questions, and then help them explore their likes and dislikes, find relationships, and get up to all sorts of fun. Your Miis are bound to surprise you as they take on a life of their own! Become the caretaker of an island full of silliness, drama, love, and other surprises. Populate your island with Miis and then pick them up and place them near each other to chat and hang out. Watch your Miis forge unlikely friendships, get into fights, fall in (and out of) love unexpectedly, and so much more as they live their lives! Get to know what your Mii characters like as you take care of them. Give them clothes, food, items, and—most importantly—life advice as they deal with all kinds of problems and situations. You’ll also naturally help shape the community as Miis may pick up and start using the words and phrases you teach them. Build, decorate, and give gifts to make your Miis happy. Shape your landscape! Design your island and place homes, stores, restaurants, and more to supply events and entertainment for your community. Decorate your Mii characters' homes by gifting them furniture, wallpaper, floors, custom-designed interior and exterior decorations, and more—and create pets, food, clothing, and items like books and video games to suit each Mii!
