Animal Crossing: New Horizons launched last month, and the game has already sold 1.8 million copies. Designers are getting busy thinking about their next installment and they are looking at Toledo, Ohio as a guide for the follow up.

Sources close to the next Animal Crossing project say that they want to grow on the crafting element of the latest game. Instead of just crafting the tools the player needs to use in the game, the makers say they want to integrate full blown manufacturing of the tools.

“In New Horizon’s players could make their fishing poles, sling shots, shovels, etc themselves.” A representative from the game studio said, “In the next installment, we would like to see the players produce these items in mass and maybe sell them to other players for bells online. It would be kind of neat to give the villagers jobs, and have quota goals for production.”

Toledo is the perfect setting for this kind of concept in the next game. The city is known for production with it being the home of Libby Glass, Jeep, among others. There is a wide variety of factories in Toledo to put in the game, plenty for the designers to use and the players to evolve in their Animal Crossing world.

The city also provides the setting Animal Crossing fans enjoy. Toledo has plenty of metro parks for players to cut down trees, and shake for fruits. Imagine being able to plant flowers near the site of the former Southwyck Mall, or catching a Walleye in the Maumee River.

Makers of the game say that Toledoans can look forward to seeing many of the local landmarks in the game. They plan to include the Anthony Wayne Bridge, The Docks, Promenade Park, Cherry Street Bridge, The University of Toledo, and more.

“Downtown revitalization could be part of the next Animal Crossing.” The game designer said, “Players will be able to re-imagine the warehouse district, open a restaurant across from Fifth Third Field, or the Huntington Center. Wouldn’t it be fun to spend your bells at a Mudhens Game or on some gear at the Swamp Shop? We think so.”

No word as to when the next Animal Crossing will be in stores, development could take a couple of years.
