Twitter Canada has revealed that the most tweeted-about gaming subject in Canada in 2020 so far is Animal Crossing.
That’s particularly noteworthy, given that the latest Animal Crossing game, New Horizons, has only been out since March 20th. Nonetheless, it’s not too surprising when you consider how popular the game has become in the wake of social distancing.
The full top 10 most tweeted-about gaming subjects on Twitter Canada are as follows:
The second most tweeted-about gaming subject, Call of Duty, is undoubtedly the result of the free-to-play battle royale game Warzone, which launched on March 10th, as well as last week’s launch of Modern Warfare 2: Campaign Remastered. Notably, the MW2 remaster was actually developed by Quebec City-based Beenox.
Rounding out the top three was Final Fantasy. A huge part of these tweets most definitely were about Final Fantasy VII Remake, the highly-anticipated reimagining of the 1997 classic PlayStation JRPG set to launch on April 10th.
