After a busy end to 2023, players can enjoy a slightly quieter month in January 2024. Players in the Northern Hemisphere will find their islands still in the depths of winter, while those in the Southern Hemisphere can enjoy a lazy laidback summer. A few new critters can be found, and a few events can be celebrated, but January is a particularly cozy month.
December in features big events, including Toy Day and New Year’s Eve, essentially back-to-back. In contrast, January features very little in the way of new events.A new rotation of new bugs, fish, and deep-sea creatures is available for critter collectors in the Southern Hemisphere. However, critter collectors in the Northern Hemisphere don’t have anything new to catch.
No new bugs are available in January in the Northern Hemisphere.

Solo Blox Leveling took me on a journey through a vast anime-inspired city. Exploring every alley, meeting different characters, and solving quests occupied me for hours. The main star of the show is, of course, combat, although it can be challenging to stay on top.
The year begins with more opportunities than ever to seek new adventures.
Game Pass subscribers have had plenty to celebrate in January. The service saw some heavy hitters arrive in the first half of the month, including Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and the Resident Evil 2 remake. But it’s not done yet. More games are coming to Game Pass to round out January.
An Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan recreated Merry, their favorite villager in the game, as a The Sims 4 character. The Sims 4 has a good character creation system, and the result of this experiment is a human that greatly resembles Merry, the peppy cat.
An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player built a cozy vacation home for the game's fashion-loving rabbit villager, Dotty. The residence was shared online, where it received a lot of warm compliments from other players.
Time for another week desperately shovelling quotes, release dates and trailers into the Maw, our weekly news liveblog and also, an abyssal abomination poised to guzzle the waking world and all forms of existence, unless we can satisfy its hunger for headlines. The year is starting to pick up, with a few intriguing titles slated to drop this week in addition to the widely acclaimed Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, out 18th Jan, which Katharine has called "a deep and challenging Metroid-like with some of the best platforming this side of Moon's Ori games".
One creative fan decides to make their own Animal Crossing-themed version of a Settlers of Catan. The Animal Crossing franchise probably isn't getting a new entry any time soon, but its industrious fan base evidently finds its own way to enjoy and celebrate it by creating in-game and in real life.
For the first time since January 2023, Xbox is bringing back its Developer_Direct show that promises to give fans a glimpse at such upcoming titles as MachineGames' Indiana Jones, Obsidian's Avowed, Oxide Games' Ara: History Untold, and Ninja Theory's Senua's Saga: Hellblade II.
