Naturally the song these video game characters are playing is ‘BFG Division,’ one of composer Mick Gordon’s original songs on the Doom (2016) soundtrack. Together with them on stage is the Dark-type specialist and rival Marnie from Pokemon Sword and Shield, herself the sister of a punk rock singer. That game’s female protagonist Gloria and a young trainer in an Eevee outfit are among a number of Animal Crossing villagers waving red lights in the concert’s mosh pit.

Not long after it was posted on Thursday, the official Doom Twitter account responded to the Russian artist’s crossover simply saying “thank you.” The video is honestly something to be thankful for, if for no other reason than it gracing the Internet with an image of Animal Crossing’s resident sweetheart Isabelle demolishing a drum set as Tom Nook idly hits notes on his keyboard.

The Animal Crossing and Doom crossover culture which has amplified itself over the last few months has not gone unnoticed. New Horizons’ director Aya Kyogoku and producer Hisashi Nogami recently praised the intermingling fandoms, “in awe” of their creativity. Seeing all of the crossover art can certainly be listed as a bright spot with much of the world in quarantine due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Of course ripping and tearing through demons in hell is cathartic in its own right, but the calm, relaxing nature of Animal Crossing: New Horizons seems to have more of a foothold online. The newest Animal Crossing has already toppled League of Legends as the second most-watched game on Twitch — at least momentarily.

Mishanin’s video has perfectly encapsulated the zeitgeist around the two disparate games’ concurrent popularity, and it’s a good showcase of their 3D modeling work available on sites like ArtStation that span the gaming world from Final Fantasy to Mega Man and Horizon Zero Dawn. With Doom Eternal’s director already imagining what’s next, no doubt there will be plenty more opportunities for great crossovers in the future.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on the Nintendo Switch.
