With rumors of a new Animal Crossing title to debut after the launch of the Switch 2, players are speculating about how this new addition to the franchise will expand upon existing gameplay elements. Additionally, Animal Crossinghas many more competitors than when the series first debuted in 2001. The simulation genre is now a giant in gaming, with popular titles from both indie and AAA developers seeing success. One newcomer to the genre - at least for PC and console gamers - is Hello Kitty: Island Adventure, which could be a great source of inspiration for Animal Crossing’s Gyroids.
