Remember when Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out just as we went into the first lockdown, and it turned into a bit of a lifeline for many people? You could visit other islands and keep in touch with friends. People celebrated birthdays and weddings in-game, and there was a regular iftar on an island too. In my mind, it’s really intertwined with the situation.
So what better way to say goodbye to 2020 by opening up your island for visitors for the end-of-year countdown, and a friend visiting to send 2020 off in-game?
