Animal Crossing is all about fans getting the chance to live alongside a community made out of animals. Each villager and visitor carries a human-like personality and tropes that make each one unique. Moreover, their personality thought process, and how they react to things grants them another layer of charm. But Nintendo never really bothered to switch the formulae even in the latest sequel Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons seriously needs to bring impactful changes to the game. A way to do that is by adding a new form of buildings, new structures, and even mythical creatures. These additions make or break the game and allow the title to stray safe from becoming dormant.

Mythical creatures can invigorate a massive change in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The franchise has long stayed the same and offered the same form of animal villagers in the game. This change could become a yet another fascinating DLC instead of a standalone title. The community would not be too happy to lose out on the collection of their favorite villagers from the game and yet allow them to expand it even more.

This just might be the correct change that the title needs, which could evoke a newfound passion for the game. Creatures like Gargoyles, Dragons, Drake, Unicorns, and more will definitely help drive more sales.

The franchise has stayed the same for well over 2 decades and this just might be the change it needs. The studio could add a rather simplified roster of Mythical creatures instead of adding a 500+ roster. It will not only make each one feel special but also make them quite easy to remember. Naturally, boosting the fan’s interest in the game will bring the title back into the spotlight.

The previous DLC improved upon the formulae, but it did not bring any revolutionary change, The franchise hasn’t strayed away from its comfort zone and it may be the right time to add something original.
