PlayStation Store Hosts Blatant Animal Crossing Clone

PlayStation Store Hosts Blatant Animal Crossing Clone

A PlayStation game, "Anime Life Sim," has sparked controversy for its striking resemblance to Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH). The game appears to be a near-identical clone, mirroring not only the visuals but also the core gameplay loop.

While numerous games have drawn inspiration from Animal Crossing over the years, Anime Life Sim stands out for its direct imitation. Developed and published by IndieGames3000, the game's PlayStation Store listing explicitly describes a gameplay experience virtually indistinguishable from ACNH. It promises a "charming social simulation" with features like home building and decoration, befriending animal neighbors, and engaging in activities such as fishing, bug catching, gardening, crafting, and fossil hunting – all core mechanics of ACNH.

The legal implications of this close resemblance are complex. According to patent analyst Florian Mueller, game rules themselves are generally unpatentable. However, copyright law protects visual elements like art style and character design. Thus, any legal action by Nintendo against Anime Life Sim would likely focus on the visual similarities to ACNH.

Nintendo's history of legal action is well-documented, but whether they will pursue action against Anime Life Sim remains uncertain. Currently, the game is slated for a February 2026 release on PlayStation 5, with PS4 compatibility yet to be confirmed.
