How to Get the New Villagers

There are a lot of ways to get access to the 16 new villagers. And with the 16 New Villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons, there are a total of over 400 villagers in the game. Needless to say, it can be tricky finding all 16 new villagers, but it can be done. Just like any other villager, you can invite them to your island when you find them.

One way to get a few of the new villagers is to restart your island. Just hope that they turn up as one of your starting villagers. If you don’t want to restart your island, open up a new housing plot and try your luck to get one of the 16 out of 400 villagers to meander into your island. Both of these ways rely on chance, but there are other ways.

If you like to take charge of your destiny, then go village hunting for the 16 new villagers. Travel to a new island using Nook Miles tickets. Once you’ve located a new villager that you want on your island, talk to them and invite them. Also, if you visit a friend’s island and they have a new villager moving out, you can invite them to your island. Though these are solid ways to get the new villagers, it will eat up your Nook Miles tickets, so make sure to collect those before taking off.

Another way to get the new villagers that involves a bit of luck is to talk and invite random villagers that arrive at your campsite, once you have that unlocked. And last but not least, players can purchase the Animal Crossing Series 5 amiibo cards which feature all 16 new villagers. This will be available on Nov. 5 with the Happy Home Paradise DLC.

With the 2.0 update, there is a lot on the horizon for Animal Crossing. Knapp’n will take you to a mysterious island, the Brewster and The Roost Coffee Shop are here, and Harv’s Island will have various updates just to name a few new exciting bits.
