Crossover Art: Baldur's Gate 3 Meets Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Baldur's Gate 3 has exceeded expectations by selling over 5 million copies and establishing itself as a highly popular game on Steam. Notably, this game has successfully introduced Dungeons and Dragons to a new player base.

Moreover, the fan art showcasing Animal Crossing characters transformed into Baldur's Gate 3 counterparts has gained immense popularity. As a result, the artist behind this creative endeavor has decided to transform these illustrations into a sticker sheet, further fueling their success.

An Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan art showcases eight Villagers transformed into Baldur's Gate 3 characters. The popularity of both games has led to a crossover of fans, despite Baldur's Gate 3 not being available on all modern consoles. Surpassing expectations, Baldur's Gate 3 has sold more than 5 million copies and ranked ninth in Steam's top concurrent players list. As a result of its success, many players have been introduced to Dungeons and Dragons and the Baldur's Gate series through its third installment. Similarly, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons selling over 42 million units, there is a shared enthusiasm among some Baldur's Gate 3 fans for the game. One particular Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan expresses this by creatively interpreting Villagers as the main characters from Baldur's Gate 3.

Twitter user Faysaysnay recently shared fan art of Animal Crossing: New Horizons that reimagines the characters in a Dungeons and Dragons theme. Animal Crossing characters Paula, Cherry, Apollo, Blanca, Lopez, Broccolo, Wart Junior, and Cleo have been transformed into Halsin, Karlach, Gale, Astarion, Wyll, Shadowheart, Lae'zel, and Minthara respectively. While most companions from Baldur's Gate 3 are featured in the fan art, some fans have noticed the absence of Minsc and Jaheira. Considering the large number of non-companion NPCs in Baldur's Gate 3, it is likely that Faysaysnay will create more Animal Crossing crossovers in the future.

Additionally, Faysaysnay's art also includes an Animal Crossing version of the Baldur's Gate 3 logo. In addition to the fan art, players of Baldur's Gate 3 have speculated about which animals best represent their favorite characters. One fan suggested that Minsc should be portrayed as a hamster, while others believe that the Octopus would be the perfect swap for the Baldur's Gate 3 Mind Flayer. Some fans have also suggested that horse Minthara and mouse Shadowheart go well together, while others think that bear Halsin and goat Wyll complement each other.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Baldur's Gate 3 may not have an apparent connection, but Faysaysnay's artwork has gained a significant following. While some fans eagerly collect this fan art, the artist has a different intention. Faysaysnay intends to transform the Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan art featuring Baldur's Gate 3 characters into a delightful sticker sheet. With the intent to sell this unique creation, the artist may offer it for sale on Etsy. The popular game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, can now be enjoyed on the Nintendo Switch.
