A golden opportunity for the next Animal Crossing game may have just been born from Disney Dreamlight Valley's recent controversy. While the news may not be game-ending, it's still likely to have a significant impact on the game's future. As one of the premier cozy gaming properties on the market, Animal Crossing could be in a prime position to benefit from Dreamlight Valley's announcement. Disney Dreamlight Valley has been a strong contender in the genre since it was released, largely thanks to Disney's library of popular IPs.
