Nintendo ADR NTDOY is building on its existing partnership with Lego.
The Tokyo-based video game company and Denmark-based Lego announced a new Animal Crossing-themed set, as shown in a teaser trailer released on Oct. 5.
Earlier leaks had hinted at this collaboration, with rumors of five Animal Crossing Lego sets in various price ranges, according to Kotaku.

The trailer features popular Animal Crossing characters as Lego minifigures, set in a plastic tree forest, and showcases a suspended present that reveals both Animal Crossing and Lego logos side by side.
The partnership is expected to include at least eight minifigures and elements like fruit trees and flowers, as seen in the trailer.
This marks the first-ever Animal Crossing Lego set and continues the partnership between Nintendo and Lego that began in 2020. Lego currently offers several Super Mario-themed sets, such as an interactive, 1980s-style TV displaying the original "Super Mario Bros" game.
A release date for Animal Crossing is expected for March 2024, but neither Nintendo nor Lego has confirmed.
