Animal Crossing: New Horizons has an incredibly creative fanbase, with players altering their personal islands to look like a wide array of different locations from different video games, and from real life. One Animal Crossing fan has taken their love of Resident Evil Village to the next level, by recreating some scenes from the game in New Horizons, to great effect.
Nintendo's Animal Crossing franchise has always drawn in players with a penchant for creativity. With the huge number of different furniture and clothing options in New Horizons, as well as the ability to create custom patterns and clothes, fans have only gotten more creative with their attempts at constructing scenes from their favorite games. With the massive popularity of Resident Evil Village, it was almost an inevitability that an enterprising fan would create an homage to the game's characters and locations.
Reddit user masabow1018 posted a few screenshots of their wonderful remake of Resident Evil Village, showing off some fairly faithful representations of the game's bosses. Masabow led the post off with a very accurate Heisenberg, donned in his black hat, sunglasses, and trench coat, and standing among robots and rockets to represent the creations from his lab. Resident Evil Village's Donna and Angie, the spooky puppet and puppeteer, also make an appearance, using doll props and Mabel and Sable's shop as a makeshift version of their creepy home.
Obviously, it wouldn't be Resident Evil Village without Lady Dimitrescu, and masabow did a great job of recreating the vampire mom. Not only did they accurately depict her long dress and huge black hat, but they went as far as to alter their Animal Crossing character to be pale-skinned and yellow-eyed. The additional details of statues and skeletons in the background, and the picture being taken at night, certainly helps to make the overall atmosphere feel more like Resident Evil Village.
It's always inspiring to see fan creations in games, and there is something wonderful about the juxtaposition of Resident Evil Village's gloomy locations being recreated in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. With Doom Eternal and New Horizons being linked by their shared release date, this isn't the first time that fans have connected the Animal Crossing franchise with a totally opposing genre of game. With the popularity of Village and Lady Dimitrescu, it's likely there will be a lot more fan-made content coming out of New Horizons, especially now that masabow has put out their interpretation of the game.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
