The Case for a Live-Service Animal Crossing Game

With the rise in popularity for live-service games, there’s an argument for the Animal Crossing franchise being a perfect contender for a live-service installment. Although the previous games have amassed a large and passionate fan base, the future of Animal Crossing would benefit from changing the usual formula of the games and pursuing a new chapter for the franchise. Some of the best franchises have allowed themselves to evolve over time, and Animal Crossing taking this approach could help set a new installment apart from the others while still maintaining the same charm and essential elements that make the franchise so much fun.
