Animal Crossing New Horizons

Some of the key features of New Horizons include building and decorating your own home, making friends with a variety of anthropomorphic animal characters, participating in various activities such as fishing, bug-catching, and crafting, and enjoying seasonal events and holidays.

Animal Crossing New Horizons includes online multiplayer features that allow players to visit friends' islands, trade items and participate in activities together. Additionally, players can connect with other players through the internet, or locally through wireless play.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a unique feature where it syncs the game's calendar and clock with the player's real-world time and date. This means that the game world changes and evolves based on the time of year and the actual day of the week. For example, if it is Christmas Eve in the real world, it will also be Christmas Eve in the game, and special holiday events and decorations will be available to players. This feature adds to the immersive experience of the game and encourages players to return regularly to see what changes have taken place.

1. Start a new game: After selecting the game from the Switch's home menu, you'll be prompted to create your character and choose your island.
2. Explore the island: Once you arrive on the island, you can start exploring and getting to know the other animal residents. You can walk around, catch fish, bugs, and sea creatures, and collect resources like wood, stone, and fruit.
3. Build and decorate: As you play, you'll be able to earn Bells (the in-game currency) and use them to buy furniture, tools, and other items to decorate your home and island. You can also use the resources you collect to craft new items.
4. Make friends: You can interact with the other animal residents on the island and become friends with them. You can trade items, help them with tasks, and engage in conversation.
5. Participate in events: Throughout the year, the game will have special events and holidays that you can participate in, such as Halloween, Easter, and Christmas. These events often bring special items and decorations, and provide opportunities for socializing with other players.
6. Visit friends' islands: You can visit your friends' islands by using the online multiplayer feature or by linking up locally with another Switch console. When visiting a friend's island, you can trade items, help with chores, and participate in activities together.
7. Take it slow: There is no set goal in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and the game is meant to be played at your own pace. You can spend as much time as you like exploring, building, and socializing, or simply enjoy the game's calming atmosphere.
