Honestly, besides new crops and the cooking mechanic, I don’t know what to expect. What makes me even more curious is that they are bundling Franklin and Jingle in the same update. Is this going to be a huge jam packed, end of the year, package? Is Toy Day split in two parts? Part of me hopes it’s just a huge update with a bunch of QoL surprises or a new/reintroduce mechanic. It’s probably unrealistic though. All one can really do is just sit and wait. My bones is telling me the trailer will be dropped sometime next week, I’m hoping we see cooking, Brewster and/or the return of villager hang outs.
I am excited for the holiday festivities - hopefully your predictions are all correct! I do wonder if they will do the Jingle event separately, however, perhaps in December?
In addition to hoping for Brewster, I would love if they updated the dialog with fresh content, and as other have mentioned, incorporated visiting/play dates, as well as the ability to purchase furniture from villagers' homes. Also, I know this is highly unlikely but I would love to see ex villagers again like they did in New Leaf. Perhaps when you walk into the tailors, an old friend is there shopping, and there is a special dialog for visitors who came back to check out their old island home.
I do sometimes miss Main Street for this reason; it was fun to visit the shops and then go back to my little town feeling like it was still a self-container world. I wouldn’t object to another area accessible by boat or something, as long as it was simple. But past updates haven’t made me expect any major content additions like that, ever.
When I visited numerous islands, I saw "100% islands" where almost every single field is filled with something. I couldn't imagine playing in this environment, so unfortunately I have to choose between of activities. If I want to breed rare flowers, I had to sacrifice other project. If I want to make some creation (mostly items placement) - I need to give up other activities.
That’s a good point—adding buildings also reduces the amount of space that CAN be customized from season to season.
I’ve been playing since launch, and my island still feels so empty and awkward. I’ve terraformed and planted and moved buildings, but at the end of the day, it would feel so much more alive if we could have had another couple of villagers. There are whole sections that serve no purpose beyond aesthetics. And while I like making my town pretty, I prefer to enjoy that beauty by actually using the town, not just constructing areas as empty set pieces and nothing more. If we can’t have any extra villagers despite the huge size of the island, I’d love to have another building or two so I would actually have gameplay-based reasons to walk over all the parts of my island.
I'm excited for new crops. I'm fairly certain we're going to get a cooking update for harvest fest and I'm READY for it!
As for buildings like the cafe, I'm one of those people who have a super packed island since I've spent every hour of this game essentially terraforming and landscaping lol. But recently I tore down a lot of things in hopes that we might get a new building, although I still think that Brewster will appear in a form of a plaza coffee cart or hidden somewhere in the museum lol.
What I honestly hope for the most are quality of life updates but unfortunately I don't think we'll get any. We might get one, but it will be one that nobody has really been wanting. I've become a bit pessimistic about those at this point lol.
Yeah, we'll probably get a "surprise" QL improvement no one wanted, but we'll all go...."oh that's cool, I guess.....still can't buy my nook miles tickets in bulk but a reactions app on the nooklink is cool"
Honestly all you think and hope for is the same as what I dream and hope for you just wrote it so precisely and perfectly !
So ill guess ill just emphasize what I cannot wait for, like i cannot wait any longer for, for me it would be the:
- Cooking, OMG!, yes bring it in, like all you said the different status, the rating and pls pls dont let it work like a DIYs i need new mechanic for the cooking !
- Harvesting new veg? again, OMG!, bring it in hahah I am so thrilled ! i like needed, it would be so cute to be able to use those to cook recipes and also like beverages like smoothies for the hot season and so on.
-Brewster, my old man, I just really need him in my ACNH life ! I also have big expectation for him, once again , like you i really hope he will sell hot/cold beverages but also like snacks. I know some people dont want to have a individual building for him, which is understandable as they would have to make a real mess in their islands, BUT! maybe the exterior design could be like tall and thin so it takes less space out. I personally wouldn't mind if it where as an expansion on Nooks upper part of the building with a terrace
- If i had to disagree with you in one point would be the clothes, to be honest, before clothes i need more furniture styles, colors and types. But clothes is also cool.
And BTW now you have hyped me for toy day and the entire xmas event now i just cant wait for that, expectations to the sky once again
Post automatically merged:
I really wish that it won't have the DIYs mechanics and that nintendo has upgraded that mechanics to fit the kitchen, i mean we have so many furniture featuring kitchen stuff, If we are getting cooking it would be really a shame they would not use the kitchen items for it and make its own little animation.
I would really like to use the cooking apron and actually go to my kitchen in my ACNH home and use it for something, like i never visit that room, if it is not to make a photo.
I'm 100% with you on Brewster, I think they could get away with an Able Sisters sized Roost. I also wonder about how many people with "full" island's would be genuinely upset by getting another building. After the initial omg, where am I going to put that I have no space, I'll have to demolish my area I spent ages on, it may well be replaced with, actually there are some really cool things I can do with this.
I really hope toy day is cool too, I hope the toys we can get are quite interactive, maybe like a step up from the fireworks. Now I think about it having some toys that could be mini-mini game enabelrs like the timer would be really cool.
SUUUUUUPER hopeful for Brewster. I miss it so much from my New Leaf town It was by far my favourite building.
Maybe they'll bring back the police station too? Im not sure. But I see alot of people saying its gonna be unlikely for them to introduce new buildings in future updates because theres an abundance of people who already have full fledged and completed towns? And maybe it wouldnt make sense but Im still hopeful, not getting my hopes up though haha
I had this other idea for the police station, where Booker and Cooper have become Private Investigators and each day there is a new mystery to solve, like a missing item or a villager who dunnit, but as a kind of who ate Booker's donut or something like that.
Oh I'd love customisable fence colours, it would totally create so many more possibilities for us to mix fencing together. The fact they already changed one of the fences from the pre-release might give a small nugget of hope for this. I loved to redo the red brick as a nice white/light grey, turn the country fencing into a birch style or the iron fencing into another colour
One of the things I thought about with Brewster’s cafe was it would give K.K. Slider a place to perform inside that’s not blocking resident services.
brewsters’s can also be optional like it was in NL. Blathers suggests it to you and Tom Nook when you walk into resident services and then you just have to raise the bells of you want it. Heck, even if he just had a cart outside resident services I’d like it.

I can say, I'm happy my island is not a 100% and I have no plan to finish it, because it will be no point to play further. If we could have more than one save - sure, why not to have completed island and visit it from time to time, and spend most of the time on this one, where we could do something. But this will not happen.
I do prefer to do "daily activity", even ordinary ones, instead of admiring my island because it would be amusement for a while, and what next?
I'm excited for new crops. I'm fairly certain we're going to get a cooking update for harvest fest and I'm READY for it!

I can partially agree with you. I would be excited for new crops conditionally, if they will serve long lasting purpose.
Example: pumpkins were served as materials prior to Halloween, and now - whoever (including me) left them, they serves like items to make some profits. Sure, we can get rid of them and wait one year to plant again. However, with no DAILY cooking, pumpkins became a little bit bland.
If we will get cooking as a part of one-day-event, where we need to deliver some ingredients and that's it... it will be just a joy for short period of time. However, if we will got new mechanics and cooking will become DAILY activity, where we can serve food, deliver, sale, buy, create rare food etc. it will become a part of the game and it will give more fun for many (strongly believe).
I want to point this once more. Some players like you have "super packed" islands, some like me - still have some space, and most suitable solution for both groups could be (for example) open Harvey's Island and at least make there some kind of district.
At this point we have some hopes, predictions, expectations and obviously I want have more interesting things (buildings, mechanics, etc.) than nothing.
I can't deny, some one-day-events are nice, but for the daily living on island it's nice to have something more.
As I wrote several times, I'm not expecting creating Ultimate Version of Animal Crossing with everything possible, as it will be no future for this franchise, but after almost 20 years, we - players know, some things are achievable, and I do fully understand we may expect them.
The following video clearly state about events, with possibility of update existing events - but there's no official confirmation about any single extra building:
SUUUUUUPER hopeful for Brewster. I miss it so much from my New Leaf town It was by far my favourite building.
Maybe they'll bring back the police station too? Im not sure. But I see alot of people saying its gonna be unlikely for them to introduce new buildings in future updates because theres an abundance of people who already have full fledged and completed towns? And maybe it wouldnt make sense but Im still hopeful, not getting my hopes up though haha
I keep seeing the fully developed island brought up again and again. I am pretty sure that the developers just won't care and will add whatever they want, whenever they want.
But, I'm not really expecting any new buildings either. I would like them even if I will have to rearrange most of my island again. That being said, I kinda hope the Roost is in the basement of the museum to incentivize going to the museum more! ♡
Nintendo's target market is anyone willing to pay, let's face the truth.
Maybe island we have in ACNH is much bigger than any other AC games, but it's probably smallest comparing to other open world games. At some point limit of existing space would be a problem.
If we add restriction of having one, single "save" - problem getting bigger.
If we planting flowers / trees / shrubs / pumpkins - we can easily remove them and make a space for something else. If we adding another player with their house, it could be removed, maybe not as easy like other things, but it's achievable.
However if we would like to remove for example camping site - we can't.
So am I. When I visited numerous islands, I saw "100% islands" where almost every single field is filled with something. I couldn't imagine playing in this environment, so unfortunately I have to choose between of activities. If I want to breed rare flowers, I had to sacrifice other project. If I want to make some creation (mostly items placement) - I need to give up other activities.
I'm not expecting ACNH will have a world with size of Minecraft - but in my opinion this is not enough.
Yes! I tried keeping my island as natural as I could, but even then the clutter gets added so quickly.
I did make my plaza area like a sort of city, but aside from that I like the asthetics of a natural island that reminds me of older Animal Crossing games.
I would absolutely love to see cooking become a brand new game mechanic. :3 I think it'd be very refreshing to have something new that's unique to NH. I also think it's safe to think that there will possibly be more veggies for us to grow; maybe other types of squash besides pumpkins, or carrots and whatnot.
What I'm really hoping for this Harvest Festival is food furniture. We'll probably get a table setting or something along the lines of the Wedding Table. Maybe some cooking utensils too, but I'm really hoping for some real food like turkey and pies!
Brewster would be perfect for both this update and the one in December. It's getting chilly in the northern hemisphere, and soon it will begin to snow in the game. Nothing beats the cold like nice hot cup of coffee.
More veggies would be awesome though I would have to completely re-do my farm. lol, and I do miss the Roost! Never thought I would, but here I am! As for toyday, I never got too big into it in the past because I don't typically play when it's going on, so I would be excited for any mechanics. I would also love the ability to bulk edit the island. I don't plan on terraforming again anytime soon, but when I was doing it, it would have been nice to do more than just. One. Block. At. A. Time. I'm sure others would love the same. Or the ability to put a bridge on a tall cliff over a river. Just a thought. I have so many ideas!
Oh I should add I think they aren't bundling both Jingle and Franklin in this latest update. I think it will be split up like the summer updates had "wave 1" and "wave 2". So I think this next trailer will mostly show Franklin, his event and farming and then a "but wait, there's more!" at the end advertising part 2 of the update with Jingle in early or mid December.
For the Jingle update, I really think we're going to get Candy canes that we can craft candy cane items with, since I noticed a lack of any candy canes in the current christmassy items in the game.
I am currently playing Gamecube's Animal Crossing, and I'd really enjoy a police station on New Horizons. It's just so helpful when you get a police dog tell you his hopes and dreams while saying, "hey, I heard a rumor that so and so is in the town next door over. He's probably coming over tomorrow."
I do want cooking to be back. It's my favorite of any life sim games. Although, in Stardew, the cooking aspect was not that easy.
Honestly, besides new crops and the cooking mechanic, I don’t know what to expect. What makes me even more curious is that they are bundling Franklin and Jingle in the same update. Is this going to be a huge jam packed, end of the year, package? Is Toy Day split in two parts? Part of me hopes it’s just a huge update with a bunch of QoL surprises or a new/reintroduce mechanic. It’s probably unrealistic though. All one can really do is just sit and wait. My bones is telling me the trailer will be dropped sometime next week, I’m hoping we see cooking, Brewster and/or the return of villager hang outs.
When they announced the next update to have Franklin and Jingle I was really surprised too but then I did think maybe they just want to give the team a break over Christmas and New year and actually putting all the content in one update time locking jingle till December was what worked best
you just wrote it so precisely and perfectly !
now i just cant wait for that, expectations to the sky once again 
It was by far my favourite building.
