The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Official Companion Guide (432 pages) by Future Press is up for pre-order at Amazon for £24.99. It will be available on 3 April.

The product description also provides a few hints about game content (includes Museum news!):

Sit back and relax. Your one-stop guide to a perfect island vacation is right here! --- Animal Crossing (TM): New Horizons takes you to a deserted island and lets you craft it into your own personal paradise inhabited by a unique, character-filled community. This premium book is both the perfect guide for getting the most out of island life, and the ultimate reference for anyone who insists on having it all. --- Get Acclimatised --- We'll get you settled in on your new island home as quickly as possible. Our useful primers will get you oriented and informed on everything a new resident needs to know. --- Create Your Paradise --- The sea's the limit when it comes to customising your island-you just need the right tools and a little guidance (...and maybe a bit of insider information for playing the stalk market). You'll find all of this here, and more: every tool and app is explained and our tips for design and money making are not to be missed! --- Discover and Explore --- Museum lovers will be in for a treat-as long as you're willing to be the one providing the exhibits! It's a hands-on approach to preservation, and every budding naturalist or palaeontologist needs a solid reference book to consult. You won't find a single specimen that's not covered here. --- Shop Till You Drop --- Your island wouldn't be much of a paradise without decent shopping facilities. Luckily, Timmy and Tommy's retail experience brings a wealth of desirable goods for purchase. Every last option for the fashionista or interior decorator is lavishly catalogued. --- Stunning Photography --- Want to see some of the hottest island destinations that have already found their feet, built a community and began attracting high-volume tourism? We've discovered some true gems and arranged photo shoots that are sure to provide plenty of inspiration for building the island of your dreams. --- Special Bonuses --- Fans of Animal Crossing will be delighted with the high-quality bookmarks we've included-one side features beautiful character artwork, and the other is filled with useful info. We've also created an online calendar for keeping track of events on the island and making sure you never miss a resident's birthday!

...Museum lovers will be in for a treat-as long as you're willing to be the one providing the exhibits!...

Can you imagine the outrage if they got rid of the museum? :lol:


They wouldn't do that. Blathers is too iconic.

Of course they wouldn’t, sounds like the Museum is sticking around (unsurprisingly) from what Jawa posted anyway!

The in game purchases have me curious. I hope it's not too absurd assuming the worst. I have a feeling it's going to be somehow tied into the Nintendo related items. We don't have play coins to spend like we did in NL which is worth mentioning. Not sure how well it will go down if we have to spend real money on them, but I kinda doubt they'd go that far. Realistically speaking, I think it just might be certain promotional DLC that will probably get added in overtime.

Can the game meet my hype level and banish my worries? My mind is in an excitement / anticipation / apprehensiveness circle right now.

If they release a demo that’s my gaming time I’m dedicating to Pokémon gone, all aboard the New Horizons train! :toot: :toot:

Well it’d be a plane but still!

Full customisability of our islands! It's simply amazing! Oh, this is looking to be the best game yet.

Love how they're like "Oh we don't use the built-in cloud saves function but IN SPECIFIC SITUATIONS LIKE A LOST OR DAMAGED CONSOLE we can get your save data from our servers"

Just... use the system that already exists? :fp:

The construction permit thing looks immense, though. So it's not all negative.

That was terrific! A marvelous mixture of fan-favourite bits of past games and new additions!

So looking forward to having visitors... and visiting other islands :-) . And, yeah, no way will I allow people to "update" stuff on my own island... you can imagine some of the wrecking that would go on :lol: ... :dread: .

So, all good. Still don't know about paid content, though. For now, I'm just focusing on how great it looks :toot: .
