Some Newer Horizons In Animal Crossing: New Horizons This January

While Pac-players treated themselves to a tricky Halloween edition of Pac-Man found on the Google home page [17] [49] [50] [67], the Free Version 3.0 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of the game were announced [43] [45]. Earlier this year, we have discussed and predicted what could the next chapter of the Animal Crossing franchise on the Switch 2 be like as a brand new title with several new features [71] [72] [73] [74] [82] [83], but as some of us have predicted, a Switch 2 edition of New Horizons will be out in two months [69] [70], yet not many fellow animal crossers have expected to witness the confirmation of an official Version 3.0 update that will be launched alongside it [43] [45]. I suppose the fanmade “Update 3.0” mode created by jubbsticks will have to be considered “Update 4.0” while fans of South Park witness the second chapter of the twenty-eighth season and hazbeans are amazed at how Hazbin Hotel holds the Guinness World Record for Most In-Demand Animated Show [19] [23] [68] [69] [70]. After comparing the Helluva Boss pilot to its remaster known as “Mission: Zero” and trick or treating in my copy of New Horizons [37] [61] [78] [79], let us discuss the next chapter of the Switch era of Animal Crossing that will be read in 2026, the year that will mark the 35^th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog series [43] [45] [59] [60].

I suppose the purpose of the content within the Version 3.0 update and the Switch 2 edition is to expand the New Horizons era’s life expectancy [43] [45], yet some animal crossers are still dreaming of a new title that can bring on some experiences [71] [72] [73] [74] [82] [83], such as an underwater village to explore once you transform into a mermaid or merboy [37]. But for now, let us discuss how the next chapter can especially be enriching on the Switch 2 in 2026, the year of the horse [30]. Wait! Does that mean that it will be the year of Ponyta and Rapidash, according to Pokémon trainers [6] [7]?! [43] [45]

Before we discuss the full potential of the Version 3.0 update, let us look at the exclusive features in the forthcoming Switch 2 edition [43] [45]. The mouse controls for designing clothing items and artwork, as well as quirky posts on the bulletin board, could be ideal for a digital artist who loves making art with their mouse [46]. The megaphone would be quite useful for finding a specific resident on the island [43] [45]. Looks like there will be room for four more players hanging out on an island online and a dozen players on one island will have the option to show their faces above their avatars by the power of the Switch 2 Camera, which is a reminder of the demonstration of the full functionality of playing the Switch 2 edition of Super Mario Party Jamboree known as “Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV” online [44]. I still wonder if there will be a Switch 2 edition of Princess Peach: Showtime! or a direct sequel to my favourite game of 2024 [42] [80] [81], but I still believe there ought to be plenty of completely new titles for the Switch 2 besides Mario Kart World to prevent the successor to the Switch from selling as badly as the Wii U did [5] [41].

The Switch 2 edition of the game will be represented in clearer definition [43] [45]. Notice how smooth the outlines of an animal crosser’s avatar look on the left, compared to the choppiness on the right? [43] [45]

Hopefully, no antiheroic imps like Blitzo from Helluva Boss will crash a coffee party like this one [33] [78] [79]. [43] [45]

Kapp’n’s family will be welcomed back in a brand new location on the pier that shall provide a new (and familiar) way to play [43] [45]. It is a resort hotel for villagers to stay at in differently themed rooms to customise, which is very much like specifically themed vacation homes to design for clients in the paid DLC known as “Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise” [38]. amiibo cards can be used to summon guests at the hotel, much like how they can in The Roost [37] [43] [45]. A new rewards system is being given hotel tickets for helping the hotel maintain its credibility to buy exclusive souvenirs. And of course, considering that New Horizons is notable for its aspects of crafting items, such as tools and furniture [37], items to craft near the hotel can be delivered to those outside of the island by Kapp’n in exchange for hotel tickets [43] [45]. I suspect that new duties at the hotel will result in new ways to earn Nook Miles [37]. The idea of running and customising a holiday hotel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is “Happy Home Paradise V2.0” to me [38], which makes me excited to try out the feature after the update is released [43] [45].

Running a hotel for visitors to stay at ought to be a lot more satisfying than having only one camper at the campsite [37] [43] [45]. If an animal crosser ends up preferring Tortimer’s Island from New Leaf over the hotel in the upcoming Version 3.0 for New Horizons [48], that is no problem. After all, some animal crossers prefer the New Leaf era over the New Horizons age for fair reasons [71] [72]. But still, I cannot go wrong with dressing up the mannequins to encourage some trends [43] [45]. [43] [45]

Oh! And did I mention that bulk crafting, which is being able to craft more than one item you wish to craft with the right number of materials, will be introduced in the upcoming update [16] [43] [45]? We all know how capitalism works by now. [43] [45]

A new feature for when an animal crosser’s avatar goes to bed is entering a new island named a “Slumber Island” [43] [45]. The player who dares to dream will be able to design their Slumber Island in the way they can design their Reality Island [37], but choose any tree they would like to plant, decide the time of day, along with the weather, and add a certain number of residents from Reality Island [43] [45]. And yes, a Slumber Island version of Lloid who wears an old-fashioned nightcap can help build slopes and bridges, much like in the main island in reality. The player will be able to create three Slumber Islands, which is much like how there can be multiple save files, resulting in multiple towns in Animal Crossing: Population Growing, but only one per memory card [4]. Being rather ambitious, I would probably choose all three of my Slumber Islands to be large for increased creative freedom, thus making up for how I wish my main island in reality could be bigger [37] [43] [45]. Lastly, up to a dozen fellow animal crossers can visit and even help construct and decorate a Slumber Island, much like in the Reality Island. Hopefully, there will be no spooky towers of blocks to climb, especially if most of the residents in reality are sheep [1].

This feature may require an active Nintendo Switch Online membership to be fully accessible [43] [45]. Surely, you can name the Slumber Islands, right? Perhaps I will name my Slumber Island “Bloop Island” after all the funny attempts at naming an unnamed island in the third volume of Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Deserted Island Diaries [57]. In the meantime, there is a theory that the Speaker of God from the second season of Hazbin Hotel is the long-lost mother of Stolas from Helluva Boss [34] [36] [63], as far-fetched as that sounds. [43] [45]

Aside from what appears to be Mr. Resetti’s redemption arc as he will run his own cleaning service in the Version 3.0 update [43] [45], I am amazed to see brand new villagers resembling certain characters from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Splatoon 3 [31] [32]. I can already imagine Cece or Viché who previously appeared in New Leaf to represent Callie and Marie from Splatoon and have been redesigned to resemble Frye Onaga and Shiver Hohojiro from Splatoon 3 [20] [21] [29], staying in a Splatoon-themed room and Tulin or Mineru unwinding in a Zelda-themed room at the hotel [31] [32] [43] [45]. Aside from new villagers being part of collaborations with other Nintendo franchises, there will also be a collaboration with LEGO, resulting in a new line of LEGO-styled furniture that can be customised after being crafted. As for Resetti’s new service, it can be useful for decluttering your yard, the beach, or anywhere else on the island. If you ask me, inviting the mole to stay at the hotel in a LEGO-themed room would be an addition to his redemption arc as if he were a guest at Hazbin Hotel [2] [3] [52] [56]. Would a prinny like to join him [22]?

Personally, I think these two squirrels should have been completely new characters to resemble Frye and Shiver from Splatoon 3 [20] [21], so that Cece or Viché can keep their looks representing Callie and Marie [29]. Nonetheless, it is interesting to see the two squirrels representing entirely different Splatoon characters to expand on their passions for cosplaying [43] [45]. [43] [45]

I also wonder if Resetti’s brother, Don, will make an appearance in the update as well. Perhaps he will appear in his place sometimes, which was the case for his original role as the one to scold the player for not saving their game [39]. [43] [45]

 
What else is there to discuss regarding the next big update? An active Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required to access a retro Nintendo game to play once you own an old-school console, such as a Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom, that can be bought from the hotel [43] [45], which is a throwback to playing old-school Nintendo titles in Animal Crossing: Population Growing [18] [24]. As for the Love Tester, my little red-nosed ranger would try it out with Eugene, the koala who resembles my fiancé, which is why I have shipped them together since I played Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp [40] [75] [76]. The maximum storage capacity will be expanded to nine-thousand items in your house and those can include plants, such as flowers and trees [43] [45]. But alas, if only that would also result in a new upstairs room for the house…after the player pays a new outrageously pricey mortgage, of course [37] [39]. As exciting as the Version 3.0 update for New Horizons on the Switch and Switch 2 sounds [43] [45], I still think there still ought to be some efforts to establish a competent sequel to New Horizons, possibly titled “New Horizons 2” in the future to further decrease the risk of the sales of the Switch 2 being as unsatisfactory as the Wii U’s sales [5] [71] [72] [73] [74] [82] [83]. The same applies to developing the next big step in the Super Mario, Splatoon, andThe Legend of Zelda games for the Switch 2 [69] [70].

It looks like Ice Climber will be featured once an animal crosser owns an NES as an example of certain classics being featured in the upcoming Version 3.0 update [43] [45]. This seems like quite an engaging aspect of the new rewards system when it comes to helping the hotel become successful. [43] [45]

What else can an animal crosser keep in their storage [43] [45]? Ah, yes! An axe…that is (hopefully) not bloodstained, even after a devastating breakup…or just a villager being rude as if they were stuck in the first era of the franchise [18] [25] [26] [27] [28]. [43] [45]

In conclusion, the enhanced port of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the big update for both ports are sure to let new Animal Crossing vibes flourish this January [43] [45]. In the meantime, I shall follow the rest of the next chapter of the story about Charlie Morningstar’s hotel for sinners to be redeemed at on Prime Video while Fortnite fighters fight in Fortnite: Battle Royale and LEGO Fortnite with new sidekicks [13] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [62]. Aside from how I think there ought to be a tenth volume of the hilarious manga known as “Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Deserted Island Diary” or a direct sequel series based on the Version 3.0 update [43] [45] [47], I predict that there will be about eight more game packs for The Sims 4 to balance out the number of expansion packs, as well as the number of stuff packs [64] [65] [66], if the game will still be relevant alongside the outcome of Project Rene [77]. Speaking of predictions, I am sure that we can still predict a new Animal Crossing title that will serve as a sequel to New Horizons with plenty of reminders of New Leaf for the Switch 2 [71] [72] [73] [74] [82] [83]. Autistic people like me need some form of escapism in a toxic post-woke world where new lines are being crossed [9], so I will be sure to start a new chapter with the Version 3.0 update, especially for the sake of running a new resort hotel, for my copy of New Horizons in 2026 [43] [45].

Hopefully, I can run the resort hotel as proudly as I designed over two hundred vacation homes in Happy Home Paradise [38] [43] [45]. And hopefully, Kamala Harris can run for president once again in 2028 and become America’s first female president in history after winning the election [11] [12]. In the meantime, Fortnite fighters are exploring Springfield with the Simpsons and Deadpool will return to Disneyland to read some seasonal stories to an older audience after spending Halloween with Wolverine and Ghostface from the Scream franchise [8] [10] [14] [15] [58]. And as always, let us keep striving for kindness and against bigotry [35] [51]. [43] [45]

Snoop Dogg Freestyles In Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix And Fortnite Festival

There were quite a lot of events near Halloween [22], including Lara Croft’s special guest appearance in State of Survival and Fishpool’s bewildering appearance in the world of Fortnite [25] [28] [43] [57]. Speaking of Fortnite and special guest appearances, the sixth season of Fortnite Festival has been launched featuring Snoop Dogg who you may recognise as an interpretation of Moses rapping against Santa Claus in Epic Rap Battles of History [20] [27]. The rapper is also the boss of a battle in exchange for a drum gun mythic during the first week of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix followed by a battle against Eminem next week and a chance to defeat Ice Spice the following week before the last week concludes the event with Juice WRLD in memory of him [6] [7] [15] [24]. After being amazed at the main cast of Hazbin Hotel in their Halloween costumes on keyrings and a trading card [32], being amused at Dark Daxter from Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier roasting characters on X, formerly known as “Twitter” [9] [10] [12] [12] [13] [14], being quite impressed at new incarnations of Gretchen and Karen from Mean Girls as Bratz dolls and being damned to a ghost-seeking quest with Blitzo and Millie in the utterly amazing tenth episode of the second season of Helluva Boss that I consider my new favourite one [2] [3] [45], I am quite surprised to see Snoop Dogg as the highlight of the sixth season of Fortnite Festival and the first skin from Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 [6] [15] [24] [27].

Fortnite fighters, after wishing Hello Kitty a happy 50th anniversary [34] [42] [48], will you stand your ground with your favourite weapon after giving the cold shoulder…or drop it like it’s hot [24]? Be sure to check out the new Snoop Dogg cred in the Shop too [29]! [24]

See? Girls wearing pink can enjoy shooting too [24]! Of course, those who recall playing Tomb Raider Legend as Lara Croft in one of her unlockable outfits know that by now [59]. [24]

Over a year ago, the rapper appeared in the fifth season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty Mobile and Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 [4]. I have stated before that celebrity endorsements may not always be inspired as my fellow simmers and I remember the backlash against The Sims 3: Katy Perry Sweet Treats back in 2012 [1]. Nevertheless, a celebrity guest appearance can be effective if managed well as Greta The Earth Fairy, the fifty-first book in the Holiday Special Fairies series in the wide library of Rainbow Fairies books starring a fairy based on Greta Thunberg sets up a good example for young girls, encouraging them to care for the environment and I fondly remember being fascinated by the premise of being a singer in Britney Spears: American Dream back in the second half of 2016 [30] [51]. In terms of another celebrity highlight in Fortnite Festival, the top priority ought to be the overall functionality of the gameplay inspired by the Guitar Hero series and how the new weapons are in Fortnite: Battle Royale, whether the player is a fan of Snoop Dogg and his music or not [27] [61]. I simply wonder who the highlight of the launch of the seventh season will be. Could it be Sabrina Carpenter, Nancy Cartwright’s niece or Taylor Swift, one of the most powerful women of the twenty-first century [5] [52]?

Play to the rhythm with the d-o Dogg!
Patch up a bug! Shout-out to the Fortnite fanclub [46]! [23]

An RG minigun that also fires words [24]?! Wow! You could diss Zed from Lollipop Chainsaw with a weapon like that [58]! Thank you so much for a way to combat his excessive profanity, Eminem [24]! Speaking of profanity, Gordon Ramsay ought to watch his language if he were to be the next celebrity endorsement in Fortnite: Battle Royale [37]! [24]

All these celebrity endorsements and crossovers in the world of Fortnite show that it has remained financially successful throughout the last six years [18], yet the overreliance on these highlights has affected the game’s creative direction for many of us [61]. Aside from that, considering that Snoop Dogg is in his fifties, he could perhaps be a reliable source of advice for young rappers who are far less experienced in the state of the music industry in this generation, unlike another rapper who also became a hit in the ‘90s [38] [54]. As for Eminem, the efforts he seems to have put into being an amazing father to his three daughters are admirable and gamers who are also parents and would do their best for their children deserve undeniable praise [17] [35]. What could be next after these artists’ appearances in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix [6] [24]? A second chapter of Happy Train Friends [62] [63]? I miss the teal and maroon vibes of 2012 [21], but I am hopeful for a healthy proportion of proactivity in Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete later this month and more surprises to come in 2025 [47], including some new and hopefully more impactful crossovers in Fortnite: Battle Royale [61]. Until then, keep expressing creativity, even after cosplaying on Halloween and be wise and considerate this Black Friday [32] [33] [36] [56]. We ought to have learned something from the events before South Park: The Stick of Truth by now [8] [55].

Despite many difficulties that led to us putting our feet down and spreading awareness, gaming can still help someone through their hardships, quite like how Sarah from Your Boyfriend had an anime phase that helped her through her time at school and being a fan of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss helped me through the first half of the 2020s [32] [45] [53] [64], but chances are that art cannot always be separated from the artist [31] [38] [50] [54]. Nonetheless, keep counting those blessings and be kind to one another [44] [49], even after a battle royale on a map known as the “Desert Drop” [26]. Oh! And be prepared for the expansion pass titled “The Storybook Vale” for Disney Dreamlight Valley later this month if you are a Disney devotee [16]! [24] [27]

What can I say? Juice WRLD’s spiritual shot at the end of the trailer is quite like a shot you would see in a post-credits scene [24]. LEGO Deadpool knows a thing or two about being in one [60], but in all seriousness, it is vital that his appearance in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix will be managed respectfully [6] [7] [24]. Speaking of LEGO, the world of LEGO Fortnite has expanded with three new islands to be unlocked and I am sure that it can blossom alongside the two other Fortnite games throughout 2025 due to the financial stability of Epic Games [19] [39] [40] [41]. My condolences go out to Juice WRLD’s friends, family and fans nearly a lustrum after his death [6] [7]. Again, please be kind to those in need. [24]
