Animal Crossing: New Horizons Player Creates Stunning Outdoor Bakery

A player of Animal Crossing: New Horizons displays the outdoor bakery they created, another illustration of the fandom's ongoing creativity.

Anyone interested in seeing some fresh, cool creations in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can visit an outdoor bakery that a player recently shared. The finished product displays an impressive level of care and attention to detail, portraying a restaurant that most fans would happily visit if it actually existed.

Players of Nintendo's vibrant life-sim Animal Crossing: New Horizons keep discovering new ways to customize their gameplay. Even as the game approaches its third birthday, its numerous decorations give players the chance to customize their islands in fresh ways, and New Horizons' Happy Home Paradise DLC gives them more resources for creating dream homes for both themselves and their fellow islanders to live in.

The most recent instance of this was provided by a user on Reddit by the name of dearkara acnh, who shared screenshots of an area in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that had been transformed into an outdoor bakery. The bakery fits a lot into a small space and has brick wall backdrops to give the appearance of an outdoor area. A display case full of appetizing-looking pastries is standing next to a table designed to resemble a cashier counter. There are tables with decorative clothing on top and plates full of cakes and scones. To top it all off, a pair of wall lamps create a calming ambiance while a different backdrop suggests that there are still more baked goods available for potential customers to enjoy.

All of this combines to produce a place with delightfully cozy vibes, which is appropriate given the generally positive nature of the Animal Crossing video game series. It's not surprising that dearkara acnh's creation has received positive feedback on Reddit, with users praising all the little characteristics that contribute to the bakery's impressive appearance. The cozy bakery from the Studio Ghibli film Kiki's Delivery Service came to mind for one fan, which dearkara acnh regarded as the "highest compliment."

For a while now, the game has been sustained for many players by creations like this. Despite its widespread appeal and status as the second-highest selling Switch game of all time, New Horizons hasn't had a significant update since late 2021. As a result, in the absence of new content, fans have had to make do with what is currently available.

It's possible that Nintendo has been putting off work on the series' upcoming installment all this time. However, the company hasn't yet made any statements regarding this, so it's unclear what Animal Crossing will entail after New Horizons. However, as examples like dearkara acnh's bakery demonstrate, there should still be plenty for players to play with while they wait for new content.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available for Nintendo Switch.
