Today during its new Direct, Nintendo revealed a brand-new Animal Crossing: New Horizons trailer showing off the 2020 Nintendo Switch game. More specifically, Tom Nook has released a new “Welcome to Island Life” promotional video, which provides a recap of what’s in store in the “Deserted Island Getaway Package?” In other words, it provides all you need to know ahead of the game’s launch this coming March.
The trailer is nearly five minutes long and provides a pretty extensive look at the game and a few of its features. And of course, Tom Nook looks more eager than ever before to bankrupt you and force you to a life of indentured servitude.

Sure, you’ve crossed paths with colorful characters near and far. Had a grand time as one of the city folk. May’ve even turned over a new leaf and dedicated yourself to public service! But deep down, isn’t there a part of you that longs for…freedom? Then perhaps a long walk on the beach of a deserted island, where a rich wealth of untouched nature awaits, is just what the doctor ordered!”
“Peaceful creativity and charm await as you roll up your sleeves and make your new life whatever you want it to be. Collect resources and craft everything from creature comforts to handy tools. Embrace your green thumb as you interact with flowers and trees in new ways. Set up a homestead where the rules of what goes indoors and out no longer apply. Make friends with new arrivals, enjoy the seasons, pole-vault across rivers as you explore, and more!”
