It’s time to get excited, folks – Nintendo will soon reveal the Animal Crossing Series 5 Amiibo cards, meaning that fans of the hit island-management game will be able to buy another pack of tie-in items.

If they’re anything like the previous four series of Amiibo cards in this range (which most recently gave us the Hello Kitty collection of Animal Crossing Sanrio Amiibo cards), these new cards will allow you to lure a few new characters onto your islands.

What’s particularly cool about this Amiibo range is that it doesn’t just work on Nintendo Switch consoles. The cards are also compatible with the Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo Wii U, which is a pretty nifty feature in this day and age.

But what do we actually know about the Animal Crossing Series 5 Amiibo cards? Read on for all the essential details, including the where and when of today’s big reveal.

When will the Animal Crossing Series 5 Amiibo cards be revealed?

The countdown is on! The Animal Crossing Series 5 Amiibo cards will be revealed during a Nintendo Direct live stream at 3pm BST on Friday 15th October 2021.

This same event will reveal a major Animal Crossing: New Horizons update that will add Brewster to the game. You will be able to tune in through the YouTube video below:
