Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been one of the most surprising entries in this year’s catalog. New Horizons came earlier this year and has penetrated all segments of the human population.

The title added another feather in its cap by winning a number of laurels at the annual Japan Game Awards. New Horizons won the Grand Award at the ceremony, which was conducted online yesterday, with titles released between April 2019 to the end of March 2020 contending for the honors.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons joined a list of ten Japanese games that received an award for excellence. Additionally, it also took the award for the Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry.

This stands as a major achievement for a franchise that has been a household name for over two decades. This award is a testimony to how much it has contributed to the development of the Japanese games industry.
