This will not be the first time the Biden campaign will be promoting the former Vice President’s candidacy through Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Last month, they released digital yard signs that were available in four different designs, according to GameSpot.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has also played host to a number of other public figures and companies. Back in June, at the height of the pandemic, KFC opened a digital version of its restaurant in the video game for players to visit. On the other hand, Selena Gomez held a digital concert with Trevor Daniel in the game in August.
Last month, Nintendo released a Halloween update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Villagers can now buy candy from Nook’s Cranny, grow pumpkins to craft new items and dress up in a variety of spooky costumes, in preparation of a full Halloween event on October 31.
