Two New Characters Revealed in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

2020 is the year of Animal Crossing, and to kick off the new year, a new TV commercial for the game has been released. This commercial shows off some new gameplay, the box art, and some official artwork, which shows off Isabelle, and two new characters.

The artwork shows off two new characters, one being what looks like a sea lion or beaver, and the other being a dodo, who we assume will be running the newly added Dodo Airlines. Interestingly, the new sea lion/beaver character is sporting Chip's signature fishing box... Maybe Chip has moved on up in the world and will be tackling bigger and better things, or maybe this is a new relative of Chip... Only time will tell.

We have also taken three stills of the short gameplay clips shown in the commercial.

You can view the full trailer below.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons launches on Nintendo Switch March 20th, 2020. As always, be sure to follow BidoofCrossing on Twitter and Tumblr to stay up to date with the latest Animal Crossing and Nintendo news.

UPDATE: We have discovered that the original art work had the logo covering Harvey, which shows he'll be returning, and will be living on another Island. It's also a higher resolution and shows better quality of the new characters.
