Tove Lo, a singer known for her songs “Habit” and “Talking Body,” will present a DJ inside Animal Crossing: New Horizons this weekend. Six lucky players showing the artist their best in-game outfits will visit the island as the show unfolds.
“Do any of you, baby, Animal Crossing it?” the singer wrote on her Instagram. Tove Lo, like the rest of us, got hooked on Animal Crossing’s addictive and relaxing everyday game.
The show will air on July 18 at 6 PM PST / 9PM EST on the Nintentalk Youtube channel. The channel currently has a video on the construction of the Tove Lo stage.
Animal Crossing has been the replacement for all kinds of events, while countries around the world are blocked due to the pandemic. Weddings, birthdays, family reunions, and more have been hosted in-game despite its poor online multiplayer infrastructure. The life simulation game came out at the perfect time.
“New Horizons has a slower pace even than other Animal Crossing games, and sometimes that can seem unnecessarily restrictive,” said Kallie Plagge of GameSpot in her review of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. “But there is still much to do, and each of those activities is brilliantly nurtured by the following for a rewarding and relentlessly joyous experience. New Horizons certainly came at the right time, and its strengths are particularly comforting at the moment. I am so excited to see what random events await me every morning as I am happy to have it during difficult times, and that will surely keep me coming back for the foreseeable future. “
