About
As of 2026, it's 6 years old.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons launched in March 2020, approximately five minutes before the entire planet was sent indoors, and became the gentle, communal escape everyone desperately needed. It's a game with no real goals beyond moving to a deserted island, building a peaceful little life, and being mildly bullied into debt by a capitalist raccoon named Tom Nook.
You catch bugs, pay off a mortgage with no clear penalty, and visit friends' islands, all at a pace so soothing it functioned as group therapy for millions.
Calm, charming, and impeccably timed, New Horizons is the game that gave a stressed-out world a quiet island and one very persistent raccoon landlord.
