Animal Crossing: New Horizons is Nintendo's biggest release of 2020 (so far, anyway). The upcoming Switch sequel is the first mainline entry for the series in eight years, and includes some pretty big changes to the town-development sim, many of which were highlighted during E3 2019. Originally slated for 2019, New Horizons is now set to release March 20, 2020.
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, your character will be ferried (via the Nook, Inc. charter) to a deserted island, where they can set up a tent and start growing their own town through many of the same activities seen in previous Animal Crossing games: crafting items, shaking trees, fishing, and more.
