It should come as no surprise right now, but if you live in Australia and they plan to attend the opening night event Crossing the Animals: New Horizons at the EB's big game store in Melbourne, unfortunately, the event has now been canceled.
This decision is undoubtedly linked to the coronavirus outbreak. According to EB, "due to government restrictions" that canceled large gatherings of up to 500 people, the launch event will not take place on Thursday night. First time fans will be able to pick up a virtual copy of the game and the Animal Crossing-themed Nintendo switchch on Friday morning.
If you have selected a digital copy of the game on the switch, this will obviously not affect you, and you will still be able to play when the game opens at midnight. In related matters, Nintendo & # 39; s New York store earlier today announced that it would temporarily close to block the distribution of COVID-19. You can read this story through our previous post.
