Nintendo isn’t against bringing some of its franchises into Animal Crossing.

Longtime developer of the series, Aya Kyogoku, told GameRant in an interview that this is something that could be considered. However, it sounds like IPs and characters won’t be thrown in just for the sake of doing so.

Kyogoku’s full comments are as follows:

“Obviously we don’t know what the next Animal Crossing is going to look like, but if the addition of other IPs in the next Animal Crossing is going to really excite both fans of Animal Crossing and fans of those other IPs even more then that’s something we’d really like to consider and take into account. But at the same time, we really wanted to make sure that the gameplay we put into the next Animal Crossing is fun and new. I wouldn’t want to add a feature where people thought it was about time or expected the next iteration would have. So instead of that, I’d like to have fun and good surprises in the gameplay.”
