With record-breaking sales and widespread critical acclaim, there’s no denying thatAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis one of the most successful games in theAnimal Crossingseries to date. Even so,Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis missing some content that longtime franchise fans have missed, particularly the character Brewster and his cafe. Rumors have persisted that a Brewster update is waiting in the wings, and now a frequent Nintendo leaker has suggested that it could come within the next few months.
Samus Hunter, a Nintendo leaker who has accurately leaked news about the company in the past, believes that a majorAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsBrewster update “where you may meet old friends” is coming to the game by November. They also alluded to theupcomingAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsHalloween event, suggesting that it won’t require a major update like someNew Horizonsevents have needed in the past.

Whether or not there’s any truth to these claims remains to be seen. While Samus Hunter has been accurate before, fans should always take rumors like this with a grain of salt. But while there’s no concrete evidence backing up the particulars in this claim, datamining efforts have pointed to the possibility thatBrewster is coming toAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, so it will definintely be interesting to see if he finally debuts within the next three months as predicted.
The suggestion that there won’t be a big update for the Halloween event could mean thatAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfans are in for a very similar Halloween as last year. This means thatJack the Pumpkin Czarwill be visitingAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsislands, players will be able to trick-or-treat, and there will be plenty of Halloween-themed decorations for players to add to their collection for a limited time.
If this bigAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsupdate is real, then it’s possible it will be featured in the rumored Nintendo Direct event. Samus Hunter believes that thenext Nintendo Directcould take place as soon as next week, though nothing official has been announced by Nintendo. WithAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsnow over a year old at this point, Nintendo hasn’t been featuring it much in its recorded presentations, opting for social media announcements instead, so fans should keep an eye on the company’s social media channels.
