Last week, the pre-load of the game went live on the Nintendo eShop, where you can digitally buy and pre-load the game on your Nintendo Switch. The game is currently available on the online store for $59.99.
When you do buy the digital version of the game, a pre-load option allows you to download the game file which sits at 6.2GB in size. The official release date is set for March 20, which gives you plenty of time to pre-load the game on your Nintendo Switch.
Animal Crossing New Horizons will be the latest title in the series, as it comes after eight years since the last title Animal Crossing New Leaf was launched for the Nintendo 3DS portable console. We got some brief gameplay footage and details last year at Nintendo’s E3 2019 presentation.
Apart from the various gameplay features, a few new noticeable features are also going to be making their additions in the new game. This includes crafting, Nook Miles, and Multiplayer. The demo showed last year gave us a look at how you can craft your own furniture, desks and lots more. The game also has many crafting recipes allowing you to get the right types of resources to build your preferred item.
