Rating Summary
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB with Comic Mischief and Mild Fantasy Violence. Also includes Users Interact and In-Game Purchases. This is a simulation game in which players explore a deserted island, interact with animals, and engage in various activities (e.g., fishing, bug catching). The game contains mild instances of cartoony violence: bugs stinging players; a 2D platformer in which players use a mallet to knock creatures off the screen; bonking characters on the head and/or pushing them into holes. One character is seen with mucus dripping from his nose; the dialogue also contains comical references (e.g., “Whoever smelt it dealt it.”).
