Will Animal Crossing: New Horizons have new villagers? - TechnW3

Best answer: Yes! There are a total of 393 recruitable animal villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but eight characters are exclusive to this title. Following the free update on Nov. 5, an additional 16 new villagers will be added to the game, eight of which are brand new and New Horizon exclusive.

New in town

Villager hunting has become a favorite passtime among Animal Crossing: New Horizon players, and it's easy to see why. With over 393 different villagers, you can customize your village with whichever personalities or animals you want. While there are plenty of familiar faces, there are a handful of original NPCs that are exclusive to New Horizons.

Character Description Birthday
Audie Wolf villager with a love for dresses and a peppy personality. August 31
Cyd A cranky, male villager. June 9
Dom A cheerful-looking male villager with a jock personality. March 18
Megan She's a sweet, purple bear with a normal personality. March 13

Currently, the only way to find these villagers is through trial and error as you go on Mystery Tours and invite NPCs back to your island. There is a chance you might also start your game with one of these exclusive animals, too. However, if you don't want to put the time in searching island after island for Raymond, help is on the way. Oh, and also, more villagers!

More villagers to come soon!

If Raymond and the other villagers are old news to you, there's some exciting news around the corner. With the next update, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is getting 16 new villagers! While some of these villagers are from previous games, there are 8 that are brand new. We've compiled a list of every new character arriving in the Nov. 5 update.

With so many new characters coming in this final free update, players can easily fill their island with a new cast of NPCs. However, if you remember how painstaking it could be to find a particular villager, you may be less inclined to jump into the search again. Don't worry; there's a way to get all of these villagers with a little luck.

A brand new series of amiibo cards

If you haven't gotten into New Horizons on Switch by now, or you've stepped away, Nov. 5 is a great time to jump back in. Not only are we getting a whole new set of characters, amazing updates, and DLC, but also a new amiibo cards! The series 5 amiibo cards is coming that same day, so you can possibly snag a card packet with your favorite.

With the right card, you can just invite one of these characters directly. This new package contains NPCs and villagers who don't have amiibos, and includes all of the new villagers coming with the update.
