However, it could be some time before a new Animal Crossing game is announced, with 8 years separating New Leaf and New Horizons. While having another adventure with the New Horizons island theme could be appealing to some, it is more likely Nintendo will put time and energy into creating a new Animal Crossing adventure for players to enjoy.

Providing quality-of-life fixes could make the next game in the series more fun to play, and offer a more streamlined and immersive simulation experience. Because pocket space is frustrating limited, this requires players to continuously switch back and forth between storage and their crafting table. Players also must have the needed items for crafting in their New Horizons inventory, with the crafting mechanics unable to access what is being stored in a player's home. The crafting system still lacks a bulk-craft option after two years of updates, forcing players to craft items one at a time. These functions could expand the crafting systems of New Horizons, and encourage players to use customization kits to create more valuable unique items.Īdditionally, a new Animal Crossing game could focus on fixing the areas in New Horizons that have remained consistently problematic. Players could even have to compete against rival locations in town or pick a specialty like food, clothing, or furniture, offering good reply value for those wanting to try a new save with a different focus. Here, goods could be sold to both villagers and visiting friends, with prices set by the player that must be changed based on supply and demand. Instead of relying on New Horizons' Timmy and Tommy to buy items for Bells, players could create their own specialized retail location. This type of game could also add "wild" locations filled with fruit, vegetables, collectibles, and resources that weren't in New Horizons, giving fans an entirely new experience with similar mechanics.Īn Animal Crossing game that allows players to open their own shop within a town could also be a fun twist on gameplay. The travel options in New Horizons got players off their own islands, providing a sense of adventure and giving unique exploration opportunities. For example, an Animal Crossing game where players have the ability to travel and live in several towns with different themes could be an exciting change.
Instead of creating a sequel, Nintendo should take a look at what did well and what was lacking in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and apply it to an entirely new adventure for the Nintendo Switch.
