The Next Animal Crossing

Since the new Nintendo Switch has been announced, I thought it would be a good time to mention a rumor about the next Animal Crossing.

The next animal crossing is rumored to be out next year (2026). It's supposedly set in a more city like environment that we'll be able to customize like New Horizons. There's also other details rumored, like better multi-player experience, more flash games, and cars.

However, as it's a rumor, it's best to take this with a grain of salt. But a new Animal Crossing will come out on the Switch 2. There's no doubt about that.

What would you like to see in the next Animal Crossing? Mine is having more villagers live in your town and being able to fully customize a city/town.

I can't wait until we get to April 2026 so we as a fandom can go insane celebrating Zak Gramarye dying, Phoenix getting accused of murder (again) and Kristoph going to prison.

This is the year guys. I can feel it. Winds of winter WILL be published in 2025.

Man I love this little fan community of weirdos. Everyone is at least familiar with each other and when it a new person it doesn't matter. Its actually really cool how chill everyone is.

Kinda sad cause I feel like every thing is gonna blow up when the full game hits, the change will obviously be good since the studio and game will get the recognition it deserves but the fandom probably won't be the same.

But to end on a positive light we'll have the whole game to geek about and the DLC side story to look forward to.

Also no mixed events from April to September is downright diabolical lol. Who asked for this Sega. Who Asked for This

I can't believe we have to find out some potential major plot points about Re part 3 through a damn gacha game instead of a DLC.

making an fps that is set in a bot-infested combat chatroom (imagine Twitter but if it allowed you to fight it out with people in an arena (i mean it kind of is like that but i mean with swords and guns and lasers))

Listen I am cautiously optimistic about the SotR film (I completely understand why a lot of people aren’t though), but I will say I am worried it’s going to be “TBoSaS 2.0”

I can really appreciate tbosas for what it is as a movie, but I don’t know how I feel about getting a new Panem film with that specific…vibe.

Idk, I think I’d have to really sit down and analyze certain elements of the film in a vacuum to pinpoint exactly what it is I’m referring to. But I feel like SotR has a high likelihood of falling into the same “vibe” that tbosas is in. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I just PERSONALLY feel like it could worsen the experience. I hope SotR stands on its own.

**I’m using “vibe” as a placeholder right now. It pains me to not have a proper way of articulating what I’m thinking yet but I’m getting out of a rut rn so baby steps lmao.

Additional note: while I do think some of my bias with tbosas (film version) is with the actual story itself (a topic for another day), I am referring to the filmmaking style.

Idk this is just rough draft thoughts because I’d rather share this and see if anyone else is thinking something similar. But I do want to elaborate on this someday because I LOVE breaking down films.
