Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a huge hit with players and has offered fun social interaction during some trying times. Since its launch, New Horizons has kept fans entertained with updates, and the community that enjoys the title has also created content to keep players invested in the game. This appears to be working as the game has maintained a large fan base that will likely grow with new features that are being added. The immediate future looks set to implement a new NPC and a way to explore neighboring islands.

The critically acclaimed Animal Crossing: New Horizons has drawn attention from celebrities and organizations as they share their vision for an idyllic island. The game focuses on completing tasks that make a player's island habitable for anamorphic NPCs. As a result, there is plenty of variety in what islands look like and a new NPC named Luna, who is a tapir, will help players see other islands.

The free update for New Horizons begins on July 30 and will include the introduction of Luna alongside Dream Islands. Luna will help players visit the islands of other players while they sleep in the Dream Suite. This seems like an exciting prospect for players looking for inspiration and the opportunity to show off their work. Many will want to explore the Dream Islands out of interest but it may also be a vehicle for positive social engagement in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

The trailer for the summer update shows Luna visiting players in their dream in the purple Dream Suite. This looks to be the way players will meet the character and it will be interesting to see if there are any other ways that fans can interact with the NPC. Either way, this update looks set to bring plenty of new content to the title and this will be a relief to players who were concerned that updates to New Horizons would be delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

While the community is keeping New Horizons fresh with fan-made content, it seems that the developer is also given players more tools to have fun and share their work. With that in mind, it will be intriguing to see what work can be seen in the Dream Islands and how they will keep fans entertained.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on Nintendo Switch.
