Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis the best-sellingAnimal Crossinggame made to date, and is generally considered a high point for the franchise. It’s true thatAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsmoves the beloved series forward in major ways, though it also has its fair share of drawbacks. For example, many diehardAnimal Crossingfans were disappointed when they realized a fan favorite character from previous games was nowhere to be found inNew Horizons, but it seems that he may make his debut just yet.

Dataminers have dug through the latestAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsupdate and found evidence that Brewster and his cafe will be joining the game at some point in the future. The dataminers found code that points to Brewster’s cafe potentially being part of theAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsMuseum, with the Museum itself getting a redesign to accommodate for this new location. Brewster’s cafe has been featured in pastAnimal Crossingmuseums, so it would make sense for it to be the same withNew Horizons.

This isn’t the first time thatBrewster has leaked forAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, so it seems that Nintendo has been thinking about adding him to the game for quite some time, but has never pulled the trigger for whatever reason. Now, before fans get too excited at the possibility of Brewster coming toAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, it must be stressed that this is still just a leak and is not a full confirmation that he is indeed coming to the game.

What works in Brewster’s favor, however, is that Nintendo is planning on releasing moreAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsupdates this year. While official details remain scarce, Nintendo did recently confirm that moreAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfree updatesare in the works. These updates could really be anything, but Brewster definitely seems like a distinct possibility to be featured in one of them.

It’s also worth pointing out that there have been numerousAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsdatamine leaks that have come true. Everything fromAnimal Crossing: New Horizons' Dream Islandsfeature to the swimming mechanic were leaked ahead of time, so it stands to reason that this Brewster leak could be legitimate. Ultimately,Animal Crossing: New Horizonsfans will have to hang tight and wait for an official announcement from Nintendo to be sure.

Brewster and his cafehave been featured in every main seriesAnimal Crossinggame and many of its spin-offs since making his debut inAnimal Crossing: Wild Worldon the Nintendo DS, so it would definitely be great to see him pop up inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonseventually. Here’s hoping fans of Brewster can get to drinking coffee in his cafe sooner rather than later.
