I have to admit that until recently I was clued up in regards to the cult of Froggy Chair, but in the run-up to the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the wholesome New Leaf item has been getting quite a lot of attention. Now, it seems that Froggy Chair isn’t in the new game, and players aren’t happy.
Dataminers who have had access to the game ahead of release have stated that there’s no mention of Froggy Chair anywhere in New Horizon’s files. As that devastating news has spread, the reactions have been understandably bleak.

It’s certainly bad news for fans of amphibian furniture, but with this outpouring of grief from within the community, hopefully Froggy Chair will be reborn somewhere down the line.

Well, less of a vacation and more of a … sojourn, I guess you could call it. A close friend of mine, Tom Nook, has started a new business offering relocations to a deserted island. There are discounts for those who can help with some early foraging. I have no idea how he found this place, but I’m willing to overlook that if he can help me get away from it all for a little while.”]
