Nintendo has announced that Lego Animal Crossing sets will be available for purchase

On Thursday, Nintendo hinted at the upcoming Lego Animal Crossing sets in a tweet.

Lego insiders first discovered clues about Animal Crossing sets last year. They claimed to have found references to five upcoming sets, with prices ranging from $15 to $75, and plans for release in March 2024.

The latest Animal Crossing game, New Horizons, was released in March 2020 and is the second best-selling game for the Nintendo Switch, with 42.79 million copies sold as of June 2023, according to Nintendo.

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

Lego has achieved success with its line of Lego Super Mario gaming sets, as well as more complex builds like the Lego NES, Mario Question Block, and Bowser sets.

Additionally, Lego has released sets for other video game franchises, including Horizon Forbidden West, Atari 2600, and Pac-Man. A Sonic the Hedgehog-themed range was launched in August, and there have been over 100 Lego sets based on Minecraft since the first one in 2012.
