Furthermore, with the hype of E3 2021 going around it seems like the game will again reach the top. If Nintendo decides to announce anything game-changing related to New Horizons in its presentation at E3, fans will go crazy, thereby skyrocketing its sales.

Nintendo has released several bangers over the years, including ACNH. It’s not new for New Horizons to demolish other popular games to rise to the top.

Therefore, we might see a surge in Nintendo’s life simulator game’s popularity after E3 2021.
