Amazon has officially opened pre-orders for 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons,' one of Nintendo’s most eagerly awaited first-party titles for the Nintendo Switch.

Scheduled for worldwide release on March 20, 2020, the latest entry in the beloved life-simulation series promises to deliver a fresh take on the classic Animal Crossing formula, all while leveraging the unique capabilities of the Nintendo Switch platform. Developed and published by Nintendo, 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' transports players to a deserted island setting, empowering them to fully customize their characters, homes, and surroundings.

This upcoming title takes creative expression to new heights; players can now decorate their island landscape—placing furniture outdoors and transforming the terrain to craft a truly personal paradise. A highlight of the new installment is its comprehensive crafting system.

Players will gather resources from around their island, enabling them to build tools, furniture, and other items that enhance everyday life and unlock new customization possibilities.

Beyond crafting, the game offers a broad range of relaxing activities, such as gardening, fishing, interior and exterior decorating, and forming friendships with a vibrant cast of NPC villagers.

Every classic Animal Crossing activity returns, revitalized within the lush, open-ended framework of island life. For those interested in multiplayer experiences, 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' on Nintendo Switch supports local and online modes.

Certain accessories may be required for multiplayer functionality, with game, system, and some accessories sold separately.

To access online play, a Nintendo Switch Online membership and a Nintendo Account are required.

Internet connectivity is essential for online features, and details, including regional availability, are outlined on Nintendo’s official website. Since its announcement, anticipation for the title has reached a fever pitch, with Nintendo fans worldwide eager to create their dream islands.

Interested players can now secure their copies through Amazon’s pre-order listing, which offers global shipping ahead of the March 20, 2020 launch.
