Dataminers can't find the Froggy Chair in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, special NPCs and dev details discovered

We've got some bad news for Animal Crossing fans and a particular piece of furniture. Dataminers are currently making their way through Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and apparently the Froggy Chair is nowhere to be found. That doesn't mean it can't be added later through updates and DLC, but as of right now, it seems you'll have to deal with seating of the non-amphibian nature.

Dataminers have also dug up the special NPCs that have been found in the game's data. Here's the list of everyone you can expect to encounter.

- C. J
- Daisy Mae
- Flick
- Sahara
- Orville and Wilbur
- Wisp
- Gulliver
- Labelle
- Mable
- Sable
- Blathers
- Celeste
- Tommy and Timmy
- Tom Nook
- Kicks
- Harvey
- Isabelle
- K.K. Slider

Finally, we have some development details come from the game's source code as well. Things discovered by dataminers include...

- the game's codename was Park
- the game runs on Nintendo's Lunchpack 2 engine
- the game uses Havok physics
- the engine is the same as Splatoon 2, Mario Maker 2, and ARMS
