Animal Crossing: New HorizonsThe 2.0 update will introduce 16 new villagers to the game. This morning Nintendo revealed some of the personality types of these new villagers and found that they got into mobile gaming Animal Crossing: Pocket Campbefore they arrive New Horizons. With these announcements came some surprises from the villagers’ personalities – Shino is the upbeat guy for one thing – and a lot of excitement about which of these villagers are the best new neighbors.
I absolutely love it because recruiting villagers has always been my favorite part. As much as I love seeing other people’s beautiful designs New Horizons Players come, I’m not a designer myself. My island is called “Island” and my flag is a white square with a single green dot in the middle (it’s art, look it up). But recruiting my ideal villagers? Sign me up. Sure, it took a lot of Nook Miles-related blood, sweat, and tears (and maybe a few amiibo), but it was work I was willing to attract some of my favorite villagers like Marina, Roald (I’m just), and Fauna .
So here is a power ranking of those shiny ones New Horizons 2.0 villagers announced for Pocket camp.
Some new animal lovers are coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons – but they’ll be arriving at Pocket Camp a little earlier! May I introduce… pic.twitter.com/BA16QsTaou

Shino
We all know and love Shino, the beautiful deer who stole the show during Nintendo Direct. From her gorgeous kimono to those devilish horns, Miss Shino already has the hearts of. conquered New Horizons
Plus, it’s her birthday on Halloween! It doesn’t get any cooler than this.
Sasha
Sasha’s look was a bit of a red herring, with this college jacket that convinced fans he might be a jock guy. But this soft boy is lazy !! He likes to take selfies! “He makes exactly the same face in the photo, but that doesn’t prevent him from using about a hundred a day,” says the Sasha picture from the Pocket Camp tweet. Who could blame him with a face like that? I mean, look at those fluffy bangs, those white ears, and that pouting little frown. In a sea of other rabbit species, Sasha easily stands out as the cutest.
What I’m saying is that if I don’t recruit Sasha there’ll be hell to pay for. I mean, I even have two extremely lazy house rabbits in real life – it’s game over for me.
Cephalobot
Some of us haven’t felt this robotic octopus, and yes, not much happens behind those eyes. And a smug guy too? But, phew, I want him. I have to add it to Octopus Row, also known as the part of my neighborhood where all of my squids live and the centerpiece of Iceland.
I recruited all three squids: Marina, Zucker, and Octavian. Somehow I did this without using any hacky tricks or buying an amiibo; the first two by stupid luck and the third by direct persistence. I found Marina on my last ticket of my island hopping day and basically screamed with joy (and relief). Bet I add Cephalobot to Octopus Row and I will do it without hesitation.
I one
With this star shirt and heavenly color palette, Ione looks like it would go perfectly with some of Celeste’s starry night furniture. A couple of fans pointed out that she looked like she was a snooty or upbeat guy – maybe someone who could rival Marshal or Peanut – but Ione is a normal guy! Though she looks calm, she’ll apparently “deny your ear if you ask her about constellations,” according to the Ione pic from the Pocket Camp tweet. Sounds like a no-brainer for anyone who loves stargazing, has a pastel colored island, or wants to add an adorable new squirrel to the ranks.
Petri
This cocky little research mouse is a heartbreaker. Look at her huge red and blue ears with 3D glasses !! Check out this LAB COAT. The snooty guy lives and dies by context – in the worst case scenario, snooty villagers can be extremely scratchy and an automatic dig for me. But with a forest dweller or a smaller villager? Perfection. Petri has also clearly earned her arrogance because, according to the Petri picture from the Pocket Camp tweet, she “will stay in her laboratory f or days”.
Marlo
This grumpy little man – and he’s a cranky guy – seems like the godfather’s hamster. While he looks like he might survive in a Tim Burton movie or be cast as the Addams Family pet, Marlo absolutely fails the vibe check. (He’s wearing a sleeveless tuxedo? Make some kind of vest out of it?) But that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It just means he’s addressing a certain level of sensitivity as he allegedly runs “some kind of underground organization,” according to the Marlo picture from the Pocket Camp tweet.
Do what you want with this information.
Tiansheng
Not a fan favorite, maybe thanks to a really peculiar feature. This jock monkey apparently never takes off his shoes ?? The Tiansheng picture from the Pocket Camp tweet states that he “insists his shoes help him run faster,” which, honestly, maybe? It is not that we see other villagers with shoes on, nor can players give shoes to their other villagers and expect them to be worn. And while wearing this functional fashion at the bottom, he wears what appears to be a gold circlet where you might expect a sweatband. Inconsistent King! That honestly agrees with the other New Horizons Jocks are written with a primary focus on getting puffy.
Quinn
This trendy purple eagle is New Horizons‘newest sisterly breed. She hasn’t really made waves – at least not yet. It’s not that Quinn has anything against her, she just has nothing special on her mind to the she neither. And while being hated isn’t exactly desirable, it can nonetheless make other villagers a popular choice for players who enjoy going against the norm.
While others have been surprised by certain villagers’ type names, most of us can agree that Quinns is a good match for her. Her “super cool style” and her desire to keep her “reputation”, as the Quinn picture from the Pocket Camp tweet shows, are all screaming for sisterly type – the kind of villagers who have the daft, ambitious qualities of an older sibling . We all know Shino is Strictly speaking the more stylish of these new villagers. But that doesn’t stop Quinn from trying.
