Animal Crossing 1.11.0 leaks and rumors

Data miners have been hard at work trying to find hidden details about potential additions ever since the 1.11.0 update disappointed most of the playerbase.

What they've uncovered, though just speculation, has Animal Crossing players excited for the future of the game.

The first, and perhaps most exciting, is the rumored addition of Brewster. Data miners uncovered lots of files that pertain to a cafe, a building Brewster is almost inseparable from in the Animal Crossing franchise.

Brewster has run the Roost in every game he's been in, and their absences are a strange feature of New Horizons. With files relating to a rumored cafe, Brewster may finally be making his return.

Potentially arriving with Brewster (and strengthening the case for Brewster's return) are Gyroids. Files relating to the cafe arrangement have led many to believe that Gyroids, a popular cafe furniture item, are coming back as well.

Brewster loves Gyroids, so those two combine for an exciting potential addition. Along with that, Gyroids have been a big part of the Roost, so all three coming together is an enticing prospect.

Another leak uncovered in a data mine shows a new villager feature. "ApproachFortune, NPC ApproachFortune Friendship and NPC ApproachFortune Item," are new keywords that have been uncovered, likely relating to the fortune from games of the past.

Fortune was essentially the in-game luck factor and having good fortune could see players reap better rewards. There's currently no fortune in New Horizons, so this would be a welcome addition.
