Animal Crossing: New Horizons: everything you need to know about the Nintendo Switch adventure

Animal Crossing is one of Nintendo&rsquo;s most unassuming series. It&rsquo;s quaint and relaxing, with no clear-cut goals, and it doesn&rsquo;t feature the company&rsquo;s most iconic characters like Mario or Link. But it has also become one of Nintendo&rsquo;s biggest franchises, growing from a Japan-only release on the N64 to a tentpole title gracing most Nintendo platforms and even expanding to smartphones. New Horizons for the Switch is the biggest entry to date, one that promises to expand with regular, seasonal updates. You can keep track of everything you need to know about the game with the stories below.
