LEGO Animal Crossing Sets Teased

Nintendo released a new video teasing a line of LEGO Animal Crossing toys. The teaser video involves minifigs of multiple characters, which includes NPCs and some villagers. There’s also a classic floating present from the series. However, it only notes it is on the way, and there’s no release date or details about sets.

First, here’s the initial teaser trailer. It features, from left to right, Rosie, Bunnie, Marshal, Kapp’n, Fauna, Julian, Isabelle, and Tom Nook. All of them are animated figures suggesting how the actual minifigures could look.

As a reminder, back in 2020 we saw some LEGO Animal Crossing sets appear on LEGO Ideas. It first debuted in May 2020 and involved Nook’s Cranny shop being brought to life. Later, an official interview about the set mentioned it used over 1,000 pieces. It is unclear if this could be related to the announcement.

At the moment, LEGO and Nintendo already partnered up for an array of Super Mario sets. These are interactive ones that allow the electronic Mario and other characters to interact with pieces to essentially go on adventures.

The LEGO Animal Crossing is in development. Animal Crossing New Horizons is on the Switch, while Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is on mobile devices.
