Animal Crossing: New Horizons will have its own Animal Crossing Direct in October 2021, as confirmed during the September Nintendo Direct after months of speculation. New Horizons will get a free content upgrade in November that will include photographs of ACNH Brewster and The Roost. Players will be able to tune in online, as they have in the past, to learn more about Brewster and the impending New Horizons content.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons had a difficult time with content updates due to a disappointingly slow summer. The gameplay and goals in 2021 are much the same as they were in 2020, when new features like diving and swimming were added. While the game's core gameplay may keep players occupied for hours on end, many players who have been playing since its introduction have their hopes up for future updates that will include more Animal Crossing NPCs, stores, or other enhancements to what is already a fun experience.
The Animal Crossing Direct will go live at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET on October 15th, according to the official Animal Crossing Twitter account. Nintendo's Twitch and YouTube networks will stream the program for New Horizons enthusiasts. For those who are unable to see the updates in real time, they will be made accessible after the broadcast on YouTube. Aside from learning more about Brewster and The Roost, players may also learn about forthcoming events and future New Horizons content through the announcement teaser.
The fifth series of Animal Crossing: New Horizons Amiibo cards will be shown at the Animal Crossing Direct, it was announced. The pack's contents are still unknown, but it's conceivable that players may be able to invite NPCs from previous Animal Crossing games or perhaps gain exclusive new villagers who are only available in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Rather of searching for certain individuals on Mystery Island Tours, players may use Amiibo cards to choose their Villagers, and this might be a useful tool for those who want to rebuild their New Horizons islands and construct a new village from scratch.
Though it would be great if Nintendo announced island size extensions or modifications to current structures, it seems doubtful. As ACNH approaches its second birthday, it's more probable that Nintendo will continue to prioritize recurring events and little upgrades like Brewster and the café to pique the curiosity of gamers. Animal Crossing: New Horizons gamers may look forward to new opportunities to experience island life in Brewster and The Roost while also returning to a beloved locale and NPC.
