About the Beloved Game Series
Doubutsu no Mori, released by Nintendo, is a beloved Japanese computer game series. It’s a communication game where players live freely in a fictional world inhabited by animals. The game flows in real-time, matching the current season, allowing players to enjoy fishing, bug catching, interacting with residents, collecting furniture, and developing their own deserted island at their own pace.
Premium Chocolate Meets Island Life
Now, this popular game series is collaborating with “GODIVA,” the premium chocolate brand born in Brussels, Belgium, and purveyor to the Belgian Royal Family. The resulting “GODIVA meets Doubutsu no Mori” collection is a cute chocolate collection themed around a “tea party,” which is part of GODIVA’s 2026 Valentine’s collection concept, featuring designs with characters from the game.
The Adorable Character Assortment
The limited-edition chocolates feature a total of 14 different designs and flavors, including: Tanukichi, Kurisuchiinu, Anthony, Patty, Shizue, Furansowa, Tiina, Jack, a Leaf Mark, a Heart Chocolate (Pink), a Heart Chocolate (White), G Chocolate/Milk Chocolate Salt Caramel Ganache, G Chocolate/Dark Chocolate Cocoa Ganache, and G Chocolate/Milk Chocolate Tea Ganache.
