In the first steps toward official Animal Crossing New Horizons news, Nintendo sent out a newsletter today.

It has officially begun! The flow of the news that we’ve all been waiting for. Isabelle has passed the baton to Lloid in controlling the Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Twitter account. She has stepped up as master of ceremonies when it come to hot-off-the-press New Horizons updates.

Nintendo also pointed at Animal Crossing: New Horizons in their recent newsletter. This mention came in the form of an alert that read “Attention Animal Crossing fans! The beloved series is coming to the Nintendo Switch system”. You can view the alert below.

This means it is time to hopefully start getting as much info as we got on Pokemon Sword & Shield, leading up to their release. I mean, essentially everything there was to know about the game was revealed before the game came out. While I don’t mind a few secrets and surprises, I’m overjoyed to finally be getting the real scoop on New Horizons.

Nintendo also mentions on their Animal Crossing New Horizons page that a full New Horizons site is coming soon. You can also place a pre-order for the game there.
