Animal Crossing: New Horizons' next content update is slated to arrive in November.

A new update is on the way for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. As revealed during the Sept. 23 Nintendo Direct presentation, the update will arrive in November and will introduce the series' fan-favorite barista, Brewster, to the game.

Nintendo didn't share many details about the upcoming update during the event, but it did show off a brief clip of the entrance to Brewster's cafe, The Roost, confirming it is finally being added to New Horizons. It appears the cafe will be located on the second floor of the museum.

Nintendo will reveal more information about New Horizons' next update in a dedicated Animal Crossing Direct presentation, which is slated to air in October. The company says additional details about the stream will be announced "in the near future."

In a separate tweet, Nintendo confirmed that a fifth series of Animal Crossing Amiibo cards is also on the way. More information about the new cards will be announced at a later date.

The last content update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons arrived back in July, although it was fairly minor. That patch brought back August's weekly fireworks show and introduced a handful of new seasonal items to the game, including mooncakes to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of Nintendo's biggest Switch titles. The game has sold more than 33 million copies since it launched in March 2020, and it's spawned various merchandise collaborations, including a line of Animal Crossing sneakers and clothing from Puma.
