One of the hallmarks of the Animal Crossing franchise has been letting your friends and family create their own save files, allowing you and up to three people the ability to share in the responsibilities of your town. Some games have forced different players to share a house, others have given each villager their own digs. But no matter what the living situation, one thing that was missing was the ability to play at the same time. Wild World introduced online multiplayer, but local co-op has been absent from the series until now.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons will allow for up to eight different villagers to call their island home and up to four players can play at the same time locally. But you can’t just start out with multiple people moving in all at the same time. In order to access co-op, each resident will need to independently establish their own residence in the town.
In my review, I wrote from the position of one person who intended to live on the island as single player. But if you’re going to be sharing this game with family or friends, I thought you should have a look at what happens when another villager comes to live on your already established island.
