KFC Has Opened a New Location... In Animal Crossing

KFC is expanding into the digital realm, starting with Animal Crossing.

The fast-food chain revealed the news in a post on the KFC Philippines Facebook account, where you can see more of the fully kitted-out diner, and the company's extremely convincing digital Colonel Sanders cosplay. The detail on display is tremendous, including plates with bargain buckets, menu items adorned on easels and even condiments on the tables.

According to Ungeek, the promotion arrives thanks to a collaboration between KFC and advertising firm Ogilvy, and the island will even have an inaccessible area where Colonel Sanders stores his secret 11 herbs and spices.

According to the Facebook post, KFC Philippines will be opening the KFC-themed island to the public. If you manage to get in, Colonel Sanders will be hiding somewhere and if you manage to hunt him down, you'll receive a code to redeem a free 8 piece bucket. Sadly for us outside the country, that only applies at stores in the Phillippines. There will be a daily queue to acquire the Dodo Code and get into the island, which will be open from today June 17th until next Monday, June 22.

This has to be a joke, right?

Talk about killing the immersion!

Animal Crossing shouldn't have this kind of product placement nor does it need it.

It's actually pretty common for Animal Crossing. The bathhouse set in the original two (removed for releases outside of Japan) was sponsored by some company that specialized in such equipment, the 711 store pieces in Wild World and City Folk, and the various stores, restaurants and clothing brands in Pocket Camp.
