Enjoy Life on a Deserted Island

Unlike other games in the Animal Crossing series, this time your new living space will be set on a deserted island. Arrive through the skies and make dozens of new friends in this new distant home!

Create an Island Paradise

Create your own island paradise where you can take care of villagers, play around with friends, and more! The only limit is how far your imagination can take you.

Build Your Own Tools and Furniture!

Part of moving to a deserted island includes making lots of DIY tools and furniture. For the first time ever, enjoy crafting your own household items and tools that will make your lifestyle much easier.
