Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Site Positioning

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons site is now live as a Phase 4 hot-game scaffold. The first goal is not to flood the site with thin pages, but to lock in the routes players will actually search for: what to do first, how the core systems work, how to route map and quest progress, and what can be missed.

This hub can now expand with release, update, and search-demand signals. The homepage, section pages, and FAQ are in place so future work can split into individual quests, gear pages, map routes, bosses, collectibles, and update explainers.

Core Sections

• Starter Route: first goals, route order, resources, and blocker checks.
• Systems and Builds: gear, skills, classes, vehicles, weapons, or core mechanics.
• Map and Quests: region order, quest nodes, side choices, and cleanup.
• Completion and Updates: achievements, collectibles, endings, DLC, patches, and long-term updates.
• Video Guides: route demonstrations, boss timing, map checks, cleanup, and future video backlog.
