Next Nintendo Direct will welcome us to Animal Crossing for mobile … and only mobile

Nintendo announced today that its next Direct presentation will focus on Animal Crossing for mobile. The show will start streaming at 8 p.m. Pacific on October 24 and last about 15 minutes. We don’t know if it will be coming out for iOS and/or Android, but Nintendo’s previous mobile efforts have reached both platforms — although not always at the same time. Super Mario Run hit Apple’s devices first.

Don’t get your hopes up for a surprise announcement for a Switch version of the series. Nintendo specified that the event will only talk about the mobile game.
