The update will roll out worldwide tomorrow, 25th February. Assuming that the patch launch in Japan takes place at 10:00 JST tomorrow that means we could see the update at 17:00 PT, 20:00 ET and 01:00 GMT.
Of course, we can’t be sure of these times but at least we know we will see this exciting update hit our Switch’s from tomorrow.
