This is simultaneously great and terrible news — great because the free expansion adds a lot of content and quality-of-life fixes but terrible because I was secretly hoping for a new Animal Crossing in spring of 2026.

Now, I think spring 2028 is more likely. I truly hope Nintendo doesn’t use New Horizons as the mainline AC for Switch 2. I need a new game in my life, preferably one that leans more toward life simulation and away from designing/decorating.
