Animal Crossing and DOOM Fans Unite

The love between these two fanbases began with a crossover from the DOOM Subreddit, with reddit user Genkiz-_ (with art by Popzotz) reaching out to r/AnimalCrossing with a message of support:

The goodwill from both sides began to snowball as crossover fan art was dreamt up by admirers across the video game divide in an armistice for the ages. Doomguy and Isabelle have been the focus of the community collaboration, with the pair often seen exchanging gifts and weapons across their respective games and battlefields.

Everything Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing

DOOM Eternal paints the entire planet red with demon blood on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and a later release on Nintendo Switch. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a Switch exclusive that is filled with cuteness and joy. Hopefully the shared love between these communities remains intact long after both games arrive on March 20.

Nintendo, please give us Doomguy armor for Animal Crossing

(and maybe K.K. can be on a radio transmission in Eternal somewhere?)

If they really wanted to take this to the next level Doom Eternal on Switch should be compatible with the Isabelle Animal Crossing Amiibos.
