Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct Announced for Thursday

Animal Crossing fans have eagerly been waiting for a look at the upcoming title since it was announced in September 2018. Unfortunately, we didn't get out first look until June 2019, where it was revealed to be delayed until 2020. Since then, we've barely seen much of the game, and fans have started worrying about further delays, or that the game won't have much to offer. Thankfully, to put us out of our misery, a dedicated New Horizons Direct will be airing this Thursday, and will include 25 minutes of new information.

Tune in on February 21st at 01:00 AEDT for a roughly 25-minute livestreamed Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct, featuring an in-depth look at Nook Inc.’s Deserted Island Getaway Package! pic.twitter.com/sZbogqId6F
