JAKARTA - Nintendo will soon hold the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct event on October 15. Users can also watch it on YouTube. This is going to be a rather long show, with a duration of 20 minutes.

During the event, Nintendo will reveal some information about the upcoming free update to Animal Crossing: New Horizons this coming November.

Nintendo revealed, quoted from Polygon, Thursday, October 7, that Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct will appear during the September 2021 Nintendo Direct. The segment teases a new addition, namely Brewster's bird barista and cafe, The Roost, this is a fixture from the previous game. It seems that the folk museum will also soon be home to a pigeon cafe.

Previously, in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, humans could work in a Brewster cafe. Villagers will come to order coffee. Depending on how well the user will perform as a barista, Brewster will then reward the user with coffee.

In fact, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players are getting a little impatient with the lack of new content, as March 2021 will be the last time the game gets a substantial post-launch update. With the presence of this update, it is likely to increase their interest in playing.

Since then, a lot of new content has come in the form of holiday celebrations, limited time items on Nook Shopping, and general maintenance. In July, Nintendo acknowledged the lack of content and promised to release more later this year.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons was originally released on the Nintendo Switch in March 2020. Nintendo has sold over 33 million copies of the game, making New Horizons the most successful Animal Crossing game to date.

Still, Animal Crossing: New Horizons definitely has fewer players these days than it did when it launched, but that's to be expected. However, the game has been a huge boon for Nintendo, which sold nearly 30 million Nintendo Switch consoles over the past year. It even helped address the shortage of Nintendo Switch consoles during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
