Animal Crossing fans have waited years for a new entry in the franchise. What might surprise you is just how long New Horizons was in development for.
According to The Washington Post, early development kicked off shortly after Animal Crossing: New Leaf launched. We’re talking about the Japanese release here, so that goes all the way back to 2012. That means it took about eight years for Animal Crossing: New Horizons to ultimately wrap up.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has launched, but the game will be receiving more content in the future in the form of seasonal updates. Unfortunately, the coronavirus has made work more difficult, and many people from around the world have been affected. Animal Crossing: New Horizons could be impacted due to the current times.
Speaking with The Washington Post, director Aya Kyogoku said that development for the updates “is still going”. However, if the situation with the coronavirus worsens, there could be adjustments. “We’re not sure if we have to shift anything, but I think we have to be flexible,” Kyogoku said.

UK: Animal Crossing: New Horizons already a third of the way to matching New Leaf’s lifetime sales
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 0 comments
Early reports regarding Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ sales in the UK are definitely impressive. Not only was the launch 3.5 times bigger than New Leaf – the series’ previous mainline entry – but its launch week was bigger than the release of all other Animal Crossing games combined, including spin-offs.
We have a couple of other interesting tidbits now as well. First, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is already a third of the way to matching the entire lifetime sales of New Leaf (boxed). Also, if you count every single #1 boxed game in the UK this year before Animal Crossing (eleven of these titles in total) and combine them, they still don’t get close to the launch week of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
So yes, Animal Crossing: New Horizons couldn’t be doing much better in the UK. It’s likely experiencing similar success in other territories, though we don’t have concrete sales data at this time.
