After the enormous success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, fans of the series are eagerly waiting to see how Nintendo continues. Unfortunately, a recent rumor published by gamerant.com suggests the next Animal Crossing game isn’t scheduled for release until 2026which could create a six-year gap between Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the next installment in the series.
Although the Animal Crossing content drought could continue longer than some fans expect, the rumored release window for this upcoming title in 2026 will hopefully result in an improved overall experience.
Along with this 2026 release window, the recent rumor of Animal Crossing also suggests that this upcoming game will incorporate a variety of features reminiscent of Animal Crossing: City Folk on the Wii. This new game will supposedly include a larger city with vehicles for transportation and a shopping mall that will allow players to sell their designs to others.
The game will also apparently put a greater emphasis on multiplayer activities, with a variety of mini-games for players to enjoy together, although fans will still have to wait a while to experience these features if this rumor is accurate.
