The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has made dramatic changes to the familiar lifestyle of millions of people around the world by closing borders and the need for self-isolation during quarantine to reduce the risk of spreading the disease.
These measures also entailed the cancellation of all events and a ban on mass meetings. In such circumstances, people come to the rescue of video games, which, thanks to their online functionality and a variety of game mechanics, allow gamers to virtually interact among themselves.
So recently we told about how Japanese students arranged a graduation ceremony in the sandbox Minecraft, but yesterday reported about a wedding organized in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The following stories, whose members share them on social networks, also relate to the popular life simulator for Nintendo switch, which suddenly became a convenient virtual platform for dating between couples in love and celebrating a children’s birthday.
One of these amazing stories told the producer of the London division Playstation Alexia Christofi. Her daughters Sofia recently turned 9 years old, however, due to quarantine, the birthday party had to be canceled. Instead, Alexia and her friends decided to organize a celebration for her child in Animal Crossing.
Sofia accepted congratulations and gifts from confetti on the virtual beach in the game, while her mother filmed her reaction to the video.
I could cry. My friends @Skilton, @lillieUIVR , @rubyannem , @RenderTramp, and their pals threw Sophia a 9th birthday party in #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons because she couldn’t see her pals due to lockdown? pic.twitter.com/hEKtOtU0rk

For couples who, due to certain circumstances, cannot be near at the moment, Animal Crossing: New Horizons also comes to the rescue.
“Today is my boyfriend’s birthday, but we can’t have a party because of the need to distance ourselves, so we had it at Animal Crossing.”
