The newest installment in the Animal Crossing series is set to launch later this year, with New Horizons in development. The game has been anticipated for quite some time now, being the first home console release since 2008’s City Folk. While we still have a couple of months to wait for the release, we now have official information on a companion guide for the game.
The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Companion Guide is from Future Press, and Amazon has recently posted a product page revealing lots of new information. The following is the official product page:
