Valentine’s Day event history in the Animal Crossing franchise

Besides discussing Valentine’s Day items available in-game, content creator Mayor Mori spoke about the history of this mini seasonal event in the Animal Crossing franchise and what has changed in New Horizons compared to the previous titles.

For instance, in the original Animal Crossing title, a bunch of villagers would send the player Valentine’s Day letters along with gifts based on their mutual friendship level. Meanwhile, in City Folk, players witnessed a brand new mechanic. Brewster would sell hot chocolate as a Valentine’s Day special instead of the regular coffee at his famous Roost Cafe.

Finally, these features carried over to New Leaf along with some additional ones. Besides experiencing the aforementioned Valentine’s Day activities, players would receive a letter from Isabelle with a chocolate cake and a present from their mom.

The Valentine’s Day items available in New Horizons are quite similar to those in the previous titles. Unfortunately, one cannot receive presents from villagers and hot chocolate from Brewster in New Horizons. However, it’s still good to see this special occasion finally feature in the latest title as a small seasonal event.
