Is Animal Crossing New Horizons clearing the Spring release schedule?
- Thread starter Datajoy
- Start date
Lol noI really wonder if Animal Crossing's surefire GOAT status has other publishers running scared and is clearing the Spring release Schedule?
Nobody wants to go head to head with Tom Nook, Brewster, Isabelle and the gang.
"Say 'AC' stands for Assassin's Creed one more time, I dare you"
I can't help but laugh at the knee-jerk "no" responses. I don't think you all realize just how big Animal Crossing is. And on the Switch? This was always going to be a huge game to compete with, whether you like the series or not. Tom Nook is out for blood, man, and he'll get it at any cost.
They all saw Death Stranding getting utterly obliterated by Luigi's Mansion 3 and noped out of March at the speed of light.I really wonder if Animal Crossing's surefire GOAT status has other publishers running scared and is clearing the Spring release Schedule?

It can be delayed twice, and I feel like that's probably going to happen.
Seems like a pretty safe assumption.
I was concerned it might until they put out the video in both Japan and the west only what, 10 days or so ago that reiterated the March release date. That makes me think it's unlikely.
Absolutely
Try to talk to any game developer for more than 5 minutes and they'll all tell you the same thing:
"Ok, that's all the time I've got. I gotta get back to playing Animal Crossing New Leaf on my Nintendo 3DS."
I fully expect that to change to Animal Crossing New Horizons on their Nintendo Switch in March.
That just reminds me of TLOU2, which also seemed to have a firm release date announced, only to delay it a few weeks later. Different companies of course, but if we don't see anything else this month I feel pretty safe in that feeling. We still know barely anything about the game and we're almost 2 months away.

If you go to Greenmangaming, a preorder of RE3 on PC is 25% off. Code is RESI3VIL on checkout.
Play the good game. :)
They would have never made those recent videos if they thought there was even a chance of it being delayed.
For the memes, yes.
In reality, no, considering Animal Crossing is coming out on a platform none of the delayed games are coming to with the exception of the Switch port of Doom Eternal which is coming later.

Clearly everybody is afraid of Zombie Army 4: Dead War, releasing Feb 4th on Xbox, PS4 and PC.
(Every delay has had me breathing a mild sigh of relief)

I hate to be the party-pooper on the Animal Crossing hype train we'e all on board (Toot Toot!), but I don't think this is the case. It's more likely that the development philosophy of most video game companies is to over promise launch dates. Management pressure to "get something out" (because they want to launch in a particular window to maximize sales and that the longer development takes the more it costs), unexpected delays or hiccups with development, departures in the folks making the game, etc. are far more likely than folks being fearful of Tom Nook Isabelle.
the demons in doom eternal when they realize the game is being released on the same day as ACNHPublishers after they saw that Animal Crossing was releasing in the same month as their game:
As a day one buyer of animal crossing I couldn't be more sure this isn't the case e other games are completely different genre's on different systems the percentage of people who would only buy animal crossing instead of as apposed to with other games is minimal.
God please yes.
If they put a rabbit named daisy in AC I'd lose my shit.
