The Switch version of Animal Crossing was due out this year, unfortunately, that’s no longer the case. During the Nintendo direct at E3, it was confirmed that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has now been pushed back until March 20th, 2020.
Nintendo have asked us to wait a little longer than expected for them to give us Animal Crossing in order to make it the best possible game they can hope to deliver. I’m fine with that, I’m disappointed, but as I’ve said countless times, I’d much rather games are delayed and we are given a finished, polished product.
It wasn’t all doom and gloom though, we did get a good look at some gameplay thanks to a new trailer:
A peaceful new life on a deserted island awaits… 🛫 🏝️Animal Crossing: New Horizons arrives on Nintendo Switch on March 20th, 2020!

It looks great. I can’t wait to run countless errands for Tom Nook just to get my house looking that little bit better. Here’s hoping the NES games from the past return as well. Either way, it’s been far too long since we’ve had a proper Animal Crossing game. March can’t come soon enough.
Steve is the resident Englishman, just don’t hold that against him. He’s been playing games for the best part of 3 decades and will continue to do so for as long as his thumbs hold up. When they no longer work, he’ll still find a way to play Resident Evil 2. Lover of most things nerdy Steve also likes sports. Go sports!
