The fans have been crying out for new content, and now it’s finally coming – just when it looked like Animal Crossing: New Horizons might be finished, Nintendo is planning a big update for that game that will land for free in November 2021.

We’ll get our first look at the Animal Crossing: New Horizons update later today, with a special Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct live stream, which looks set to reintroduce Brewster and the Roost.

But when exactly should Nintendo Switch fans in the UK tune in for the Animal Crossing Direct, and what else do we know about the upcoming update? Read on to find out all the essential details!

What do we know about the Animal Crossing: New Horizons update?

Nintendo has released a short teaser trailer for the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons update, and it confirms that a beloved area called The Roost will be coming to the game in November 2021. It looks like it will be in the museum, to the left of the art gallery.

Fans of the earlier entries in the Animal Crossing franchise will know that The Roost is usually a coffee shop overseen by a bird barista named Brewster (who can also be seen in the teaser clip).

The Roost will be open 24/7, according to the video, and you can take a look at the teaser for yourself right here. Get ready for some highly caffeinated islanders!
