When going to the supermarket it is common to look at the expiration date of food to check how much time we have to eat it, but what has turned out to be a surprise is that video games themselves also have a deadline. That is the case of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, one of the best-selling and most played games in the entire Nintendo Switch catalog.
This curious detail has been discovered by a Reddit user, who has modified the date of his console to travel to the future, specifically until the year 2061. To his surprise, when he started the game a message appeared telling him that your island will close its doors from that year and therefore cannot be accessed again.
But you can rest easy, because that does not mean that it will be impossible to play this game again. Animal Crossing. Of course, you are going to have to follow the same example of this user, but in reverse, which means that you will have to delay the date of the console to a moment between the year 2000 and 2060. Therefore, from a certain point of view, the game will be infinite.
It must also be said that those who do not want to change the date will be able to keep playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons for another 38 years, although it is very likely that by then new titles in the series have already gone on sale, other consoles or even each one’s own Nintendo Switch has passed on to a better life. In a few decades we will see.
