Like many of the older updates, new items have been added. However, “Animal Crossing’s” the newest free 2.0 update, adds new mechanics and quality of life changes that appeal to players new and old. These updates are usually quite significant to the development of the game’s world, but they did not bring in too many new players after the initial hype. “Animal Crossing” has maintained a steady stream of content updates, adding new items to spend “bells” (the in-game currency) on. Essentially, the game is an active Zen Garden populated with cute (and sometimes sassy) animal characters. They are also invited to form friendships with the animal inhabitants and grow their town’s museum. The player is the mayor of their small town, and their only goals are to provide for their residents through the beautification of their island.

These tasks can also unlock new tools and cosmetics to decorate your island. The game mainly focuses on gathering seashells to sell, fishing for an aquarium and other everyday island tasks. The game’s easy-going island theme calmed many who were facing difficult times and provided a tropical getaway for those unable to travel. Many will remember the “Animal Crossing” craze in early 2020, with the newest game, “Animal Crossing: New Horizons,” launching just weeks after the initial Covid-19 lockdown.
