Why Animal Crossing Will Likely Never Get This Palia Feature

Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes from one of the most famous Nintendo franchises, with AC’s relaxing yet exciting social simulation gameplay featured activities like fishing, farming, insect catching, and even fossil hunting. Its popularity and accessibility have inspired many developers to create similar open-ended social simulation games, like Singularity 6 Corporation’s Palia. Unlike Animal Crossing: New Horizons, this game is built to be played with a community of other players instead of a cast of NPCs. It’s something that the former could integrate into future games if it wants to truly evolve from its current format. There are a lot of elements from Palia that would work great for Animal Crossing, except for one activity.
