Animal Crossing: New Horizons released a little less than a year ago on March 20, 2020. Within this short time span, the game has become the second top-selling Nintendo Switch game of all time, selling more than 31 million copies.
One of the major reasons New Horizons has been successful is due to its ever-changing environment. Nintendo has done this through in-game events such as the ‘Festivale’, collaborations such as the recent one with Mario and changing seasons in the game.
