I think there are a bunch of new villlagers we haven't seen yet I'm hoping for some good new jock and uchi's) and I'm hoping at some point in the game there will be something that hints are where the old NPC's are like joan and tortimer.

I think there are new villagers that haven't been revealed yet and also the stories of the NPCs (if they are bringing episodes back from previous titles), that's all I can think of and I can't wait to see more as I play!

i feel like the main things that?ll be kept secret are things and characters that were in previous games - it makes sense since they?re more focused on showing what?s new rather than reshowing what?s old and what we?re used to

- Museum upgrades for diving, artwork and maybe, just maybe, gyroids?!
- Hair and colours that may be exclusive to Harriet. (I am wishing really hard for this because NH is missing a handful of styles from NL that I used very often and it's a bit devastating.)
- Other shops, like the salon and Kicks. They have only been showing us the basics!
- Mini games. They're pushing multiplayer so much it would be dumb to get rid of them.
- Bushes. It's weird that we haven't seen them but it's also equally as weird to take something so basic out in a game focusing so heavily on customization. Gyroids fit here too. They're a staple, why remove them now?
I also think a lot of these, if not all of them, could be re-introduced through updates (or dare I say, DLC?!) down the road though. I could totally see a diving update (along with the proper museum upgrade) in the summer time to add a new activity at a time when there are few holiday events, and diving just makes sense in the summer time, haha.

New Villagers
New Emotions?
More Old GCN Features Returning?

I feel like all the new upgrades of services and shops are going to remain a mystery until someone unlocks them all and posts them online.
I also believe there will be DLC that will bring back swimming, island tours, kappn, etc. later this year, and they?re keeping that a mystery too. Maybe it will be called ?The Tropical Package DLC? or something and will be free idk. Whooooo knooooows man

I really hope they didn't show us all of the game. I just hope they kept some things a secret for us to be excited about
I hope club tortimer, island tours and diving all make a return

I think/hope that a lot of the NPCs in previous games end up coming back. It doesn't make sense to me to remove iconic characters that are the face of Animal Crossing. Even so, I also welcome change! I won't be devastated if they're not in the game like before (maybe because they're replacing shops with street vendor options?) but I'll still miss them. It's hard for me to not be so excited for the game anyway, even if Nintendo cut out some of the great NPCs. Hoping that that's not the case and that they are just keeping it as a secret!

We KNOW there’s some things they don’t want us to see, because in at least one of the ten minute videos, the reviewer said he wasn’t allowed to show three rooms in the museum, and not allowed to show terraforming. So there’s that..
yeah, i watched a video where the reviewer said some information in the preview he played is under embargo and he couldn't talk about everything, so there's definitely secrets. which is inevitable, as while many features have been revealed, ac is a game that evolves over time, so i doubt they'd want to spoil important later developments and possibilities.

I think, although we've had a lot revealed, it's only the tip of the iceberg:
- what's the deal with the dock on the right side of the island? The special edition Switch has a sailboat on it, which presumably means Kapp'n will return at some point in the game, so where will that take us? Will it take us, in an inversion of what Kapp'n usually does, to the mainland? Will there be a city area with multiplayer stuff, GracieGrace, the HHA, Dream Suite and a hybridisation of Re-Tail and the LGTTC auction house? Will he take us to another island? Is there just a random dock? Who knows, at this point.
- Does Nook's Cranny upgrade into Nook 'N Go, Nookway, TIY and Nookington's, as well as the unknown Nook store seen on the website?
- Do the travelling sales merchants like Kicks and Label eventually get shops of their own?
- bushes are hinted at on the back of the special edition Switch, and I'm guessing Leif's gonna have his own travelling store with bushes, the exotic plants seen in the museum, and really hopefully, THE BIG GAMECUBE BUSHES?
- will different house shapes return?
- Will you eventually unlock the Police Station again?
- will you unlock a post office, where you'll be able to instantly send letters through Pelly/Phillis?
- WILL THE ROOST AND THE OBSERVATORY RETURN?
- WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE OLD NPCS? NAT AND CHIP SEEM TO HAVE LABS NOW, EVENTUALLY... BUT WHAT ABOUT JOAN, HARRIET, REECE AND CYRUS?

tfw you go too deep into the theory chamber... here are my predictions!! x_x
Swimming, Diving and the Museum
? Swimming and diving are either currently implemented and unlockable via gameplay, or not implemented yet and will be added in a big free Summer update. (Here's hoping for the former!)
? An art gallery will be introduced to the museum via some form of upgrade. The museum staircase will eventually lead to said art gallery, diving critters will expand on the fish portion.
? And maybe, just maybe, diving hasn't been shown off yet, because this time around there's a whole new layer to it. Maybe you can actually see some form of an underwater environment while diving? Perhaps you can snorkel in shallow waters, and you'll dive New Leaf style into even deeper waters to catch

Gardening and Leif
? Leif's gardening store will be located in either the Nook store, or a botanical garden-like area within the museum.
? It will not only contain the classic items, but all new trees and plants too, not unlike the new greenery you can see all throughout the museum.

Character Customisation
? Harriet returns running a somewhat more general beauty salon. There will be more hairstyles, hair colours, contact colours and wigs to buy from her.
? I also get the feeling we could see perhaps a couple of new nose and mouth types in the future.
? At the very least we will see custom design templates for a few styles of skirts, shorts and pants.

New Neighbours
? We'll see a whopping 100+ new animal islanders just like New Leaf, including all previously absent villagers. (Some receiving name changes and/or design tweaks.)
? 1 or 2 new villager species, along with 2 new personality types to bring it to a total of 10 like your villager cap! (Perhaps something like Shy and Geeky?)

Familiar Faces
? Serena will return with perhaps a similar or slightly enhanced role. (That being obtaining some sort of special tool.) But instead of being summoned via fountain, she's summoned from the ocean.
