Upcoming farming and life simulation game Coral Island is shaping up to be perfect for fans of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. First announced in 2021, Coral Island includes many features of classic farming games, and expands upon many of those elements to put its own unique twist on the genre. Although no firm release date has been set for the game, more in-game details continue to be shared by developer Stairway Games that further emphasize its appeal for simulation game fans.
Coral Island began on Kickstarter, and met its initial funding goal in only 36 hours. After that goal was met, the developers continued to add stretch goals that would add more features to the game, such as a Merfolk underwater village and the ability to travel to other islands. At a recent showcase, Humble Games announced it would take on the role of publisher for the game, providing funding that will allow the game to grow even more. Much like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Coral Island takes place on a remote island full of creatures and interesting characters. Players can build friendships with their neighbors, and some characters can even be romanced, similar to the marriage system of Stardew Valley. Players can customize their home and character, catch bugs and fish, plant crops and fruit trees, clean up the island, and much more that will sound familiar to Animal Crossing fans.
