Animal Crossing has been out for 23 years now, but some fans seem to believe that the need to interact with villagers has vanished. Animal Crossing first launched back in April 2001, and it quickly took the world by storm with its cozy and immersive gameplay. Since then, several titles based within the original world have been created, including Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp.
