Tom Nook will then provide you with the tent you need to get started. With this tent you can now look for the perfect place to set up camp.
Will this be by the sea or in the forest?
The choice is entirely up to you, and other characters are there to assist you in finding the perfect place.
Meet other villagers
Speaking of other characters, exploring the new environment and meeting other villagers is a must once you have set up your camp.
Villagers are everywhere in this game and are a focal point to the Animal Crossing experience. They are a major reason why the series is so immersive and beloved.
Nintendo have previously announced that 383 villagers will exist in New Horizons including legends like Tom Nook and Isabelle as well as a host of new faces.

Design your new home
When your tent starts to feel cramped and you are wanting to upsize, you can start the ball rolling when it comes to getting your own house.
Plus with how beautiful and spacious the new homes are in New Horizons, you are going to want to get onto it straight away.
The houses are better than ever before with much more enhanced detail, thanks to the glorious 1080p graphics, and the customisation options available are more expansive than ever before.
Like in previous games in the series, New Horizons offers you mortgage options so you don't have to wait a while to afford your dream home.
Unlike in real life, the loan has no interest and no time limit, making it a fantastic opportunity for your islander to embark on.
GENEROUS OFFER: You don't want to refuse this one
The houses also have a handy storage system that allows you to store things you are not currently displaying inside the house helping you avoid the clutter and keep the place ship-shape.
After you have your exterior sorted you are going to want to work on your interior. New Horizons offers more options for you to play with leading to endless hours of home designing.
LUXURIOUS LIVING: Why not upgrade your pad?
You can change the layout and patterns inside your house with ease, allowing you more time to focus on island life.
One of the most impressive features of the houses in New Horizons is the ability to add extensions and do re-modeling to your home.
This offers you a wealth of opportunities to re-create incredible houses that you can then show off to your fellow islanders and make them green with envy.
