[female VO] -Animal Crossing: New Horizons, [relaxing acoustic music]
-
The new game in the series we all know and love, except, wait,
-
what if you've never played an Animal Crossing game before?
-
Well, let's say you haven't
-
and take a moment to get you nice and acquainted. [music fades]
-
[stringed acoustic music]
-
You see, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game
-
is your ticket to a relaxing, stress-free life,
-
[ speaking animalese ]
-
one in which you'll interact
-
[ speaking animalese ]
-
with a whole community of residents-
-
animal residents! [music fades]
-
But don't feel overwhelmed, [relaxing funky music]
-
you'll make your own way at your own pace,
-
and there's plenty of time- real time, that is!
-
Every day is a new day- 24 real-world hours that occur,
-
whether you're at the island or away for a while.
-
Your surroundings will even change with the seasons,
-
not to mention the activities available to you,
-
it's good to check in frequently
-
so you don't miss out on anything.
-
In short, you're free to do what you'd like!
-
This includes setting your own goals,
-
or completing certain activities to earn in-game rewards.
-
So... where to start? [music fades]
-
[acoustic island music]
-
From fish to catch... bugs to sneak up on... and residents to befriend...
-
you'd be amazed how much there is to discover when you explore your island.
-
Now, I wouldn't say you live in the sticks, but...
-
there sure are lots of 'em! So, collect them,
-
and anything else that may fall from the trees.
-
There's also a lot to create and customize:
-
from clothing... to wallpaper and flooring...
-
to custom furniture... and more. And speaking of interiors... [music fades]
-
[chill acoustic music]
-
your house is yours to do up in style.
-
With enough expansions, it can get pretty huge-
-
all the more space to decorate.
-
Need to go shopping first? Then head on over to the in-game store.
-
It's your one-stop shop for lots of things,
-
[ speaking animalese ]
-
from home décor...
-
[ speaking animalese ]
-
to replacement tools...
-
to seeds and saplings you can plant wherever you want.
-
[ speaking animalese ]
-
The selection changes daily,
-
so check back often for items you need. [music fades]
-
[sleepy acoustic music]
-
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons,
-
you have both the tools and the freedom
-
to create the island paradise of your dreams.
-
How will you landscape your new home?
-
What patterns will you design that highlight your personal style?
-
Where will you place buildings?
-
If you're looking for a bit of guidance,
-
the Nook Mileage Program is just the thing.
-
By participating in certain activities, you'll earn Nook Miles,
-
[ speaking animalese ]
-
which can be used to pay off
-
[ speaking animalese ]
-
your Deserted Island Getaway Package.
-
They can also be exchanged for in-game rewards.
-
There's a plethora of amenities available to help you
-
shape your island as you see fit, including Resident Services.
-
[ speaking animalese ]
-
Here, you can craft items by following DIY recipes
-
and using the materials you've gathered.
-
It's pretty amazing how many personal touches you can add to your island...
-
and helpful tools you can create with crafting.
-
And while DIY is great,
-
you don't have to do everything alone. [music fades]
-
[gentle acoustic music]
-
Why not share in the fun?
-
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons,
-
you can visit other people's islands
-
to get inspired by what they've done with their place.
-
It's the best way to get fruits and flowers
-
that aren't native to your island.
-
And since everyone's island is a little bit different,
-
you never know who you'll meet there.
-
Embark on a relaxing getaway
-
and get ready to create your new island paradise.
