This week, an Animal Crossing: New Horizons player was the victim of a shun of epic proportions when the whole community assembled for K.K. Slider’s performance got up to leave as soon as the player sat down. Since its debut in 2020, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has sold over 32 million copies, making it a great hit for Nintendo.
Although the game was released over 2 years ago, many enthusiasts continue to post updates and new designs on social media. A tropical island awaits players in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, where they may customise their new home to their heart’s content. People that look like anthropomorphic animals can befriend players as they develop their community from the ground up. In total, there are over 400 distinct kinds of animals to meet in the game, each with its own unique personality traits.
At the beginning of this game, the player’s main objective is to enhance their island to a 3-star rating, at which point the musical dog K.K. Slider will perform. K.K. Slider has appeared in every Animal Crossing game to date. He performs a wide range of music genres, from metal to bubblegum pop, in the towns of players every week. Video from the game was published on Reddit this week by user MellifluousWine, showing four villagers appearing to make an attempt to ignore the player.
Four animal villagers sit around K.K. Slider in the plaza, waiting for the entertainment to begin, at the opening of the film. Villagers begin to leave their chairs as soon as the player sits down next to them, all four of them. They even turn their backs on the player, as if they were utterly ignoring them. Villager synchrony in the video is what makes this shun particularly amusing – it’s as if the animals had planned it out beforehand. A gamer will never encounter an animal crossing villagers who are malicious toward them.
Despite the fact that some of the villager characteristics portrayed in the video sound like they would abandon someone, the game is too user-friendly to allow villagers to deliberately desert a player. Some fans may wonder how the game’s programming detects when villagers abandon a K.K. Slider presentation that resulted in such a planned exodus from the game. Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ minor idiosyncrasies and surprises are a big part of why players enjoy it.
Even experienced players are occasionally shocked by something new they’ve discovered in the game or an encounter with villagers they’ve never encountered before. It’s these kinds of surprises, like this one, that keeps gamers coming back to Animal Crossing nearly two years after the game’s release. In spite of being shunned, Animal Crossing: New Horizons remains an endearing game for longtime players.
