Nintendo has announced that it’ll have the next Nintendo Direct livestream this Feb. 20. The announcement will mainly hold information about the upcoming “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” game. Livestreams for different regions are available for this show.

As seen on the official Nintendo of America Twitter page, the next Nintendo Direct on Feb. 20 will be a 25-minute stream about “Animal Crossing: New Horizons.” The stream will give an in-depth look at Nook Inc.’s Deserted Island Getaway Package. For now, fans will have to wait for the livestream to know what that package is.

The livestream will start on 6 a.m. Pacific Time/9 a.m. EST. The Nintendo Direct livestream link has already been set up and can be found on Youtube. Other regions such as Europe and Japan also have their own livestream links but will have the reveal at the same time.

The “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” will be the latest entry in the series. Many fans love the game for its casual city building charm as players take the role of a mayor of a small town. Aside from being a mayor, house customization and other management duties take up the majority of “Animal Crossing” gameplay.

“Animal Crossing New Horizons” on the Nintendo Switch is slated for a March 20 release. Bethesda and id Software’s “Doom Eternal” will be release date rival as it also releases on the same date.
