## [](#about-animal-crossing-new-horizons)About Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Players embark on an ultra-exclusive Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package and enjoy a peaceful existence full of creativity, charm and the freedom to roll up their sleeves and make their new life whatever they want it to be.

Players can collect resources they can craft into everything from creature comforts to handy tools as they set up a homestead they can decorate freely, both inside and out. The game is scheduled to launch March 20, 2020.

The game has been postponed from its 2019 launch window as Nintendo needs more time for development.
