Dear Reader:
Animal Crossing: New Horizons NPC spawn rates discovered
Leave it to dataminers to dig up the details we want. Wondering what's up with the NPCs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Want to know when to expect their arrival on your island? Dataminer Ninji took a deep dive into the game and came up with the following info.
- every week, players are guaranteed to get Saharah, Kicks, and Leif on one weekday (Mon-Fri) each
- this will happen so long as the Able Sisters tailor shop has been built
- the remaining two weekday slots will be randomly filled by Gulliver, Label, CJ, Flick, or Redd
- special characters which did not get picked for the current week will be given a higher priority for the following week
- Celeste will appear on days where Meteor Shower weather patterns are present, separately from the other special characters
- Wisp will pick a random day of the week to appear
