Isabelle from Animal Crossing is sort of sad to see the end of 2020

during Animal Crossing: New horizonsDuring the New Year’s Eve event, Nintendo Switch fans were treated to a surprising dialogue from the start of the game. It seems everyone’s favorite villager, Isabelle, is a bit disappointed to see the end of 2020 While most people around the world are more than happy to see 2020 thrown in the trash, Isabelle sheds a few tears, noticing how much the year has meant to her. In other years, this exchange probably wouldn’t raise any eyebrows, but 2020 is a year like no other, and most are more than happy to see it go!

Below is an image of Isabelle’s tear-filled farewell to 2020.

Of course, Isabelle can hardly be faulted for taking advantage of 2020! The character received a cushy job for Nook, Inc., where she spends each day chatting with residents about her TV viewing habits, the day’s events, and more. New Years Eve is a particularly noteworthy day for the character, as it gives him a rare working day to spend outside the Resident Services building; she didn’t even have it on her birthday this year!

Players can see Isabelle alongside Tom Nook outside the building during the game’s New Year’s event. During the holiday festivities, players will also have the opportunity to acquire some free items in the form of a glow stick and a party popper. Tom Nook never misses an opportunity to make a few bells and will therefore have party hats for sale as well. Regardless of what players spend, they can count to the end of the year thanks to a giant clock in front of Resident Services. After the stroke of midnight, fireworks will take place and will last until 2 a.m.

For those who won’t have the opportunity to attend an in-person party this year, tonight’s event should be a fun way to celebrate the end of 2020 (although Isabelle is sad to see it go)!
