There was a game that looks exactly like the popular nintendo franchise in the PlayStation store Animal crossing. In addition to an extremely similar artistic style, the description of the game can be easily used to describe Animal crossing: New Horizons.
Unfortunately, Copycat games on digital distribution platforms have become common in recent years. Some of them are a Rip-off with a small in common with a real game outside the title, while others do a decent job to replicate the playing of the original, but in both cases developers usually try to earn players who come across their game instead of real things.
The PS5 game will appear online animal crossing
Now the game has called Anime Village Online appeared in the PlayStation store. The name may be enough to raise a certain eyebrows, but a real problem is the description of the game and the picture included, which is obviously similar to the style of art found in the artistic style Animal crossing. The picture shows a cartoon girl who jumped into the air with hills and trees in the background, with such strong similarities in artistic styles that one can easily focus on the promotional image for the upcoming Animal crossing game. The description describes in detail the game solo/cooperation with up to 10 players, while the game revolves around the building of the house, decorating, crop growing and fishing. The game also claims that multiplayer among the platforms will be available when the game starts in 2027. Curiously seems very similar to another Animal crossing Copy game called Anime life simthat disappeared from the PlayStation store after it was discovered earlier in 2025.
Besides, there was nothing else about the game. Little digging, however, shows that the person mentioned as its developer Wisna Sudirman also has the second game listed in the PlayStation store, which may look familiar. That game, called Rooted: survivalIt is set in the post-apocalyptic world, where humanity seeks to survive the results of the bacteriological war. The only picture looks very similar to The last of uswith the green overtaking of the urban landscape. In this case, a list of stores even directly refers to The last of usstates that his players would probably enjoy Rooted: survivalLike the renunciation of the responsibility, which mentions that no copyright infringement is intended.
While the visual similarities with Rooted: survival can be explained if the game uses purchased unreal engine assets, Anime Village Online He doesn't have an apology. It seems unlikely to actually relax, at least with its current appearance. Nintendo is known to be extremely controversial to something that violates its IPS, thus the similarity to its wildly popular Animal crossing Franchise extremely risky.
