Franklin is making his way to your tropical island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This guide will show where players can find him and what he is for. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is currently the second highest-selling Nintendo Switch title, right behind Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with over 22 million copies sold. Releasing right at the beginning of a global pandemic, players all around the world spent most of their time crafting their perfect island getaway, building their own communities, and playing online with friends. The game continues to receive bulky updates all throughout the year to celebrate various holidays like Halloween, Easter, and the 4th of July. Franklin, a reoccurring character in the Animal Crossing series is ready to return in New Horizons. This guide will help players find him and explain what he does.
For every seasonal event, a new character is brought over to the player's island and acts as the key representative of said holiday. When the Easter event occurred earlier in April, players were introduced to Zipper T. Bunny, a rabbit character that would hide eggs all around the island for players to find. To celebrate the Summer Solstice, players were treated to extra hours of sunlight for the longest day of the year. Now, Franklin will make his way to the island to celebrate an upcoming November event. Here's where players can find him and what he does.
Where To Find Franklin (& What He Does) in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Franklin was announced to appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons in late November as a free update. This is to celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday as Franklin is a turkey chef. He will appear on the island after the update is available. In previous entries of the series, Franklin would task players with helping him cook for the Harvest Festival. The player will then need to collect ingredients for Franklin so he can finish his dishes. The player will also reward the player with furniture items exclusive to the season. This will likely repeat for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the best games to release in 2020. Players have spent hundreds or thousands of hours perfecting their own island adventure. What the player wants to accomplish is 100% up to their own imagination. The game also continues to receive free updates to keep players invested in their island life. The Thanksgiving event is right around the corner and Franklin is ready to create some delicious cuisine.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on Nintendo Switch.
