Nintendo will broadcast a new Nintendo Direct episode this week, revealing new, “in-depth” details about Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch.
The new Nintendo Direct presentation will be broadcast on Thursday, Feb. 20 at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT. Nintendo will broadcast the episode, which will run roughly 25 minutes, on its YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, and Facebook channels.
Originally announced in 2018 during a Nintendo Direct presentation, Animal Crossing: New Horizons sends players on an island vacation planned by Tom Nook’s new travel agency. The Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package will fly travelers to a deserted island, where they’ll establish a new life, craft and build custom items, and interact with newcomers as they arrive to the island destination. The Nintendo Switch sequel will add brand-new customization options and support for up to eight players in local and online multiplayer.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is coming to Nintendo Switch on March 20. Nintendo will release a special Animal Crossing-themed edition of the Nintendo Switch on March 13. It’s available for pre-order now.
