What's Happening?
Cece, a squirrel character, has been reintroduced in the Animal Crossing series with the New Horizons 3.0 update. Cece is a collaboration villager based on characters from the Nintendo franchise Splatoon,
transitioning from Callie in Splatoon 1 to Shiver in Splatoon 3. Players can invite Cece to their campsite by scanning specific Splatoon amiibo. Once invited, players must fulfill Cece's requests over three days to convince her to stay. This process involves crafting and gifting DIY Recipe objects. If successful, players can choose which existing villager Cece will replace, offering more control compared to random campsite visitors.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of Cece in Animal Crossing: New Horizons highlights Nintendo's strategy of integrating popular characters from other franchises to enhance player engagement. This cross-franchise collaboration can attract fans of both Animal Crossing and Splatoon, potentially boosting game sales and player interaction. The ability to choose which villager Cece replaces adds a new layer of customization, appealing to players who enjoy personalizing their in-game experience. This update reflects Nintendo's ongoing efforts to keep the game fresh and engaging, maintaining its popularity among a diverse player base.
