An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player has posted some footage of the saddest K.K. Slider concert ever. K.K. Slider is one of the best special villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and he surely deserves a better showing than this.
K.K. Slider is a fan favorite of the Animal Crossing franchise, having appeared ever since the original title. He has garnered quite a fan base, who choose to pay tribute to him in many different interesting ways. There was even an Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan who made a K.K. Slider version of a Bo Burnham song, which was interesting to say the least. It's fair to say that K.K. Slider isn't going anywhere, sitting alongside Tom Nook as an iconic mascot for the franchise.
Redditor Ok_Revenue_2239 posted the heartbreaking footage, which shows K.K. Slider in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, playing his guitar to an empty crowd due to an ongoing storm. While it's certainly a sad sight, it's impressive that he continues to play despite the lack of crowd, showing off his true passion for performing as the show must go on regardless. With a total of 107 songs to play in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, K.K. Slider has plenty of opportunities to show off his talent in the game.
While most were impressed at K.K. Slider's dedication, there was another user who had an interesting idea for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They claimed that when a storm is happening in-game, he should instead hold his concerts at the coffee shop, The Roost. It's interesting that this was brought up, as this is how it used to be in Animal Crossing: Wild World and City Folk. It would be a fun callback if it were to happen, and would be a great way to prevent tragedies like this from occurring.
Right now, gamers have no clue what the future of the Animal Crossing franchise holds. Nintendo has remained tight-lipped about what is next for the series, as it so often does until it is ready to reveal its next project. Animal Crossing: New Horizons was a massive hit, so although it has been three years since a game was last released, there is almost certainly one in the works at the moment. It would be an enormous surprise for the series to be shelved, and by any metric would make no sense for Nintendo. Players can be sure of one thing, though: when the series returns, K.K. Slider will surely come back with it.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available for Nintendo Switch.
