Animal Crossing: Get a Tour of Joe Biden’s Island This Friday

Kinda Funny co-founder and IGN alum Greg Miller and screenwriter and Animal Talking’s Gary Whitta have teamed up with United States Presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign to show off the official Biden Island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.Miller and Whitta will be the first to show off Biden Island tomorrow, October 16, at 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm BST on Twitch.TV/KindaFunnyGames, and the tour will take place live in-game.

This showcase takes place only a little over two weeks away from the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election on November 3, 2020, and is another example of these campaigns adapting in a world still impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as taking advantage of current and popular forms of entertainment.

Joe Biden’s island is another example of celebrities making a home for themselves in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. IGN recently hosted a Celebrity Island Tours series where we had such stars as The Last of Us Part 2’s Laura Bailey, What’s Good Games Andrea Rene, Marvel’s Shang-Chi’s Simu Liu, WWE’s Xavier Woods, and Gary Whitta himself.

This Biden Island tour is taking place during Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Fall Update and Halloween event, and you can check out everything added to the game in our Wiki Guide.
