Animal Crossing Switch Release Date: When is it Coming?

​​Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch will apparently be released April 29. The rumor first started on Twitter when a user claimed a UK GameStop employee told them the release date. GameByte followed up by contacting the store and it confirmed the release date to GameByte.





Nintendo fans waiting for Animal Crossing were anticipating more news about the game to be released at another Nintendo Direct, though the one usually held in January ​focused on indie games for the most part.





Animal Crossing for the Switch was ​first confirmed in 2018. Animal Crossing Switch will be the first release in the franchise since Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp came out for mobile platforms.
