Perhaps one of the most intriguing updates to the series will be the new Island Designer feature. This feature will let players terraform the island, adding cliffs, pieces of land, and other goodies to really help them customize the island to its full potential. It’s looking like a great feature to toy around with, and we’re very excited to see what it offers when Animal Crossing: New Horizons launches in March.
