Animal Crossing New Horizons: dataminers uncover hidden mechanics

Villagers, animals, buildings ... What's new in the DLC found by dataminers? We were entitled to ask the question in recent months as the discoveries were so interesting.

At the start of 2021, for example, we learned that players could soon receive some sort of extension to their island via a mechanic not used in the video game but present in the code. Other changes and additions referenced:

Changes to stores and NPCs

New stores and NPCs, like Robusto's cafe

Addition of 'gyroids' objects

Possibility of having up to 3 islands per player. When he's on an island, the other two would have a ACNH self-management system  that would require players to have a fair amount of Bells.

New missions and objectives to set up the system mentioned above (including an event with Nook which could be shown through a cutscene!)

Regular and seasonal events

In short, nothing official until now but Nintendo knows very attentive and frustrated players. There is no doubt that the next few months will be used by the Japanese company to reveal a little more. Until then ... patience! In the meantime, why not go emulate Animal Crossing New Horizons on PC?
