New Villagers Coming to Animal Crossing New Horizons: Full List
New villagers will be joining Animal Crossing: New Horizons as part of November's 2.0 update.
Island life in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is about to get even more bustling. During the game's dedicated Direct stream last Friday, Nintendo announced a huge amount of additions coming to the game in the next free update. The (rather extensive) list of features coming to the game was welcome news to thousands of fans, and one addition has certainly got everyone talking - new villagers.
The Animal Crossing series boasts a wonderful variety of villagers that can join the player in their virtual life. A few new villagers were added at launch for Animal Crossing New Horizons, including the peppy Audie and the fan-favourite Raymond. Now 16 more villagers will be added as part of the version 2.0 update. Eight of these are completely brand new, whilst the other eight are returning villagers from either Animal Crossing on Nintendo GameCube, or the original Japanese-only Dōbutsu no Mori e+. These eight are haven't been seen since their original introductions.
Below, we've listed every new villager coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons in the free 2.0 update.
