NOTES:

  • Staff List: Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Credits)
  • Research: Animal Crossing: New Horizons (KRIM)
  • Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a life simulation game played in real time.
  • Weather also adjusts to the seasons of the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, depending on the player's real-world location, a first for the Animal Crossing series.
  • The game follows a villager customized by the player, who after purchasing a getaway package from Tom Nook, moves into a deserted island.
  • After Tom Nook gives the player essentials, such as a tent, the game proceeds in a non-linear fashion, allowing for the player to play the game as they choose with only a small amount of limitations which lessen as the player progresses.
  • Director Aya Kyogoku confirmed that the game had begun development in 2012, shortly after the original release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan.
  • Kyogoku and Nogami stated that they selected a deserted island as the game's setting to differentiate it from previous Animal Crossing games, which are set in established villages, and to allow greater freedom to customize the game's world.
  • Engine: Lunch Pack
  • Production involved over 100 Nintendo developers.
  • Cooperation: SRD (Program), Mario Club (Planning, Debug), Monolith Soft (Visuals), 1-UP Studio (Visuals)
  • Development: Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Director, Planning, Visuals, Program, Sound)
