Nintendo confirms Lego Animal Crossing sets are coming

Plans to release Lego sets based on Nintendo’s Animal Crossing series have officially been confirmed.

Nintendo teased the upcoming Lego Animal Crossing sets in a tweet on Thursday.

Lego insiders first uncovered evidence of Animal Crossing sets last year.

They claimed to have found references to five upcoming sets, ranging in price from $15 to $75, which they said would be released in March 2024.

The most recent Animal Crossing game, New Horizons, was released in March 2020 and is Nintendo Switch’s second best-selling game. As of June 2023, it had sold 42.79 million copies, according to Nintendo.

It trails only Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (55.46m) and is ahead of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (31.77m), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (30.65m) and Super Mario Odyssey (26.44m).

Lego has seen success with its Super Mario line of Lego playsets, as well as its more advanced Lego builds including its Lego NES, Mario Question Block and Bowser sets.

It’s also released sets for other video game franchises, including Horizon Forbidden West, the Atari 2600 and Pac-Man.

A range based on Sonic the Hedgehog was released in August, and over 100 Lego sets based on Minecraft have been released since the first in 2012.
