With plenty of islands becoming paradise for many new residents in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, new players have gotten the chance to see many old and new faces from the Animal Crossing series as a whole show up on their islands. Meanwhile, there are also many other players who haven't been able to see some of their old favorite characters in their new island life, such as Pascal and Brewster.

It's currently unknown if all of the missing characters will appear in future New Horizons updates, but luckily, there are plenty of special villagers that do appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. There are also a few new faces appearing in the title as well.
