Animal Crossing: New Horizons gets an in-game ‘Black Friday’

There are only a handful of things that can be guaranteed during our existence on Earth. These include life and death as well as the inevitable claws of Black Friday.

Apparently, the made-up corporate holiday has found its way from American suburbs to everyone’s favorite quaint island lifestyle game, Animal Crossing – New HorizonsIt is possible. What’s the secret? Well, thanks to a few crafty fans, we now know that Nook’s Cranny will be hosting its own in-game Black Friday sale this year. It’s called “Nook Friday,” and the event will mark down all items sold by the Nook brothers by 30%, from Nov. 26 through Nov. 30.

It’s not the best deal in the world, but it is a sweet perk. It’s also nice because it’s well-timed with the release of a ton of new items, as part of the new 2.0 update.

The event may seem odd at first. After all, we’re on an island escape. Our days, ideally, are spent doing home improvement projects, fishing, cooking — whatever happens to pique our interest. However, Tom Nook doesn’t care about that. Tom Nook only wants you buying all of those new shiny items. (Suddenly, needing Lottie’s resort escape makes a whole lot of sense.)

Yet to determine if there will still be long lines of villagers waiting at the shop for it to open.
