Good news for fans of LEGO and the Animal Crossing: New Horizons video game on Nintendo Switch! The next free game update, available from January 15, 2026, will allow players to enjoy LEGO items that can be used to furnish their homes with brick-based furniture and wallpaper. Clothing will also be available, and these items will be for purchase at Nook's Cranny. Players will be able to choose from various color combinations for maximum personalization of their surroundings.
This collaboration between Nintendo and LEGO will be available both in the free 3.0 update on the Nintendo Switch console and in the enhanced paid version of the game planned for the Nintendo Switch 2 console.
So the cycle is complete: we already had LEGO Animal Crossing sets, we'll have LEGO in the Animal Crossing game, and we'll undoubtedly have LEGO Animal Crossing sets based on the LEGO available in the Animal Crossing video game. Simple, effective, the marketing loop is unstoppable.
