Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct Details, Livestream Dated for Later This Week

Nintendo announced that they will host a Livestream event for Animal Crossing: New Horizons on February 20 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET.

The Nintendo Direct style stream, will give players an in-depth look at Animal Crossing: New Horizons as well as details on what’s included in Nook Inc.’s Deserted Island Getaway Package.

During this entry, Tom Nook is advertising a new playable region to players and NPCs as an exotic getaway to start a new life. Dubbing his presentation as the “Deserted Island Getaway Package,” players can probably expect debt to tied to this vacation. The trailer then shows the deserted island as players will need to create their community from scratch, which requires them to use the island’s natural resources.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons features many of the elements of gameplay that the series has introduced over the years. Players will play a nonlinear life sim in real-time. Throughout the game, they will make friends, get a job, craft, go on adventures, and pretty much do whatever they want for as long as they wish. Sadly, it seems that new debt will need to be paid off in this game, which is also a recurring staple.

In case you missed it, check out the most recent trailer.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is coming to Nintendo Switch on March 20.
