| − | ==Development and unveiling==
| |
| − | This game was teased during a Nintendo Direct on September 13, 2018 and was originally intended to be released in 2019.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/09-13-2018/ Nintendo Direct 09-13-2018]</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | During E3 2019 on June 11, 2019, the gameplay (from trailer and Treehouse interview) and title were shown. It was revealed that the game has been delayed to March 20, 2020, stating that "to ensure the game is the best it can be, we must ask that you wait a little longer than we thought."<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr9eAtwcYlo Nintendo Direct for E3 2019], YouTube.</ref> Later, President of Nintendo of America [[Doug Bowser]] said the following: "The crunch point is an interesting one, for us, one of our key tenets is that we bring smiles to people's faces, and we talk about that all the time. It's our vision. Or our mission, I should say. For us, that applies to our own employees. We need to make sure that our employees have good work-life balance. One of those examples is, we will not bring a game to market before it's ready. We just talked about one example (means this game delay). It's really important that we have that balance in our world. It's actually something we're proud of."<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/11/nintendo-comments-on-crunch-and-game-delays-a-e3-2019 Nintendo Comments on Crunch and Game Delays], IGN.</ref>

| − | This title is expected to support more languages than all previous entries in the series, being the first to support the Chinese language since {{DnM}},<ref>[https://nintendosoup.com/luigis-mansion-3-animal-crossing-and-new-super-mario-bros-u-deluxe-playable-in-chinese/ Luigi’s Mansion 3, Animal Crossing, And New Super Mario Bros.

This will also be the first main series title since {{CF}} to have two separate Spanish language localizations; one for Spain and the other for Latin America. It has been erroneously reported to be the first title in general to do so,<ref>[https://www.3djuegos.com/mx/noticias-amp/199649/animal-crossing-new-horizons-vendr-localizado-al-espaol/ Animal Crossing: New Horizons vendrá localizado al español latinoamericano], 3DJuegos (in Spanish)</ref> albeit it will be the first title to include all localizations collectively regardless of regional release.

| − | == Gameplay ==
| |
| − | [[Tom Nook]] has a new business venture selling the Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package, which is sold to the [[player]]. The game begins on a nearly deserted island that the player can explore, collect resources, and craft various items (including tools and furniture). Resources can be collected through various methods, such as chopping at trees with an axe for several types of wood, or hitting rocks with a shovel for clay, stone, and [[ore]]s. Several different types of [[weed]]s also appear, which can also be used as materials once plucked. Crafting is done through Tom Nook's workbench. With these mechanics the player is able to build and develop the island over time. Players are also able to dig up clams in the sand, which can then be used as fishing bait, or as crafting materials. Additionally, trees and flowers can be shoveled up to be stored in the [[pocket]], while picking flowers will leave the stems, with the flowers being usable as materials.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As in {{HHD}}, the game features the ability to place furniture outside. A new pole tool can be created, giving the ability to vault over rivers. Roads are able to be paved, instead of having to place [[Design|patterns]] on the ground, or intentional [[grass deterioration]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Up to eight players can live in the player's island, however the island remains the same for one Nintendo Switch. <ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/12/nintendo-confirms-new-details-about-multiplayer-in-animal-crossing-new-horizons-e3-2019 Nintendo Confirms New Details About Multiplayer in Animal Crossing: New Horizons], IGN.</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Player ===
| |
| − | Players can fully customize their characters, similar to {{HHD}} and {{PC|short}}. This includes skin tones, gender-neutral hairstyles and nose shapes.<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/e3/2019/6/12/18662401/animal-crossing-new-horizons-e3-2019-character-customization-skin-tone-nintendo-switch Animal Crossing: New Horizons will have skin tone customization, gender-neutral hairstyles for Villagers], Polygon.</ref> The player characters' overall design is slightly more detailed than in previous titles, featuring a more subdued color scheme and clear hair physics and shaders. The players also appear more expressive, showing a thoughtful expression when selecting items in their pocket, and moving their eyes around to look at nearby villagers and bugs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The player also possesses a new item called the Nook Phone, which features at least 4 different apps that can access different features of the game, such as an app to check all the D.I.Y. recipes made by crafting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Multiplayer ===
| |
| − | An island can support up to eight players. For the first time in the series, four players can play at the same time on a single system, and up to eight can play together through online multiplayer or local wireless.<ref>Animal Crossing: New Horizons E3 2019 Factsheet</ref> Online play requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In local multiplayer, the screen boundaries will follow player 1; however, they may transfer their "leadership" to any other players. The lead player is the only player to be able to see text prompts after catching bugs or fish. In online play, all players have equal abilities, as in previous games.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Villagers ===
| |
| − | This is the first game where [[villager]]s no longer wear their tops sleeveless. Villagers can also be seen wearing dresses. Sheep now wear normal tops instead of the scarves that were worn up to {{PC}}. Additionally, villagers can move their eyes to look at nearby villagers and bugs, as well as sitting down on the grass, making them more interactive with their surroundings.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The players starts with two or so villagers. If the player doesn't like the spot chosen, they can move the villager's house location to wherever they see fit. There are no new personality types introduced in this game.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/13/how-tom-nook-uses-his-money-and-14-more-details-about-animal-crossing-new-horizons-e3-2019 How Tom Nook Uses His Money And 14 More Details About Animal Crossing: New Horizons], IGN.</ref>
