When Does Animal Crossing’s Redd Visit? Datamining Has The Possible Answers

If you’ve been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons for a few weeks now, you’ve probably noticed that a special NPC visits your island each day. The April update even added two more visitors to the mix: Leif, who sells shrubs and flower seeds, and Jolly Redd, who sells art. However, you might not be seeing Redd–or some of the other desirable NPCs–very often. According to datamining, that’s due to how the visitor schedule works.

Twitter user @_Ninji, who has shared accurate, datamined information about much of New Horizons, explained how special visitors work in a brief thread. Provided you’ve met the prerequisites for each visitor–you can find all of them in our special visitors guide–there are certain NPCs that are guaranteed to visit each week while the rest will show up randomly on the remaining days.

According to Ninji, Saharah, Kicks, and Leif are each guaranteed to come each week on a random weekday, while Gulliver, Label, C.J., Flick, and Redd will randomly fill in the remaining two weekdays. For example, you might get Saharah on Monday, Kicks on Tuesday, and Leif on Wednesday, which leaves only Thursday and Friday for the rotating visitors. That means you can only get two visitors out of that group of five each week. Weekends are taken up by K.K. Slider on Saturdays and Daisy Mae on Sundays, if you’ve unlocked them.

New To Disney+ In June 2020: Artemis Fowl Skips Theaters And Arrive This Month

As we continue to hunker down at home, we’re all watching a lot of television, including plenty of stuff on streaming services. Things like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and Disney+ help pass the time, and there are new movies, TV shows, and original content coming very month. Here is what Disney has planned for the month of June.

The biggest release for next month is none other than Artemis Fowl. Back in April Disney announced the film would be skipping theaters and going right to the streaming service, as the COVID-19 pandemic is keeping theaters closed. Based on the book series by Eoin Colfer, and arriving on June 12, the film follows the preteen genius Artemis Fowl, “a descendant of a long line of criminal masterminds, as he desperately tries to save his father who has been kidnapped. In order to pay his ransom, Artemis must infiltrate an ancient, underground civilization–the amazingly advanced world of fairies–and bring the kidnapper the Aculos, the fairies’ most powerful and coveted magical device. To locate the elusive object, cunning Artemis concocts a dangerous plan—so dangerous that he ultimately finds himself in a perilous war of wits with the all-powerful fairies.”

Additionally, the final three episodes of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian arrive on June 5, 12, and 19. The series gives Star Wars fans an inside look at creating the Disney+ original series which took the world by storm. The final three episodes will cover visualization, score, and “connections.”

John Wick TV Series Will Explore the Origins of Franchise’s Characters

While we had previously know that Starz and Lionsgate’s planned TV series The Continental would be set in the early history of the John Wick franchise, one of the key creatives behind John Wick has now revealed that the show will also explore the origins of some of the movies’ supporting characters.

In a chat with Fandom (via ScreenRant), director Chad Stahelski, who has helmed all three John Wick films and is also expected to direct the series’ premiere episode, revealed additional details about what differentiates The Continental from the John Wick movie franchise.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/22/john-wick-chapter-3-parabellum-bike-scene-choreography-exclusive-clip”]

Stahelski said the TV series will utilize “a different perspective on the whole world, it’s coming at it from different characters’ points of view and what the breadth of the world is.”

The director said that while the John Wick movies are told over the period of a few days in the life of the title character and from his perspective, The Continental will have “a very different timeline structure and a very different perspective of character. About how deep the world goes, and not just about assassins but everything that’s included. And a lot of the origin stories are some of the characters that you see in Wick.”

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=the-best-action-movies-on-netflix-right-now&captions=true”]

It was previously reported that The Continental won’t air until after John Wick 4 comes out. And since that film’s release date has now been postponed a whole year, it seems The Continental won’t be open for business until 2022 at the earliest.

Destiny 2’s Latest Quest Could Be The The Next Step To Changing Everything

There’s a new quest in Destiny 2‘s Season of the Worthy this week, and while it’s only slowly unfolding, it could be very important to the overall story the game has been building over the last year and a half. “The Lie” concerns Rasputin, the artificially intelligent Warmind at the center of this season’s tale. Given the backstory of Rasputin and some hints we’ve been seeing over the last few seasons, The Lie could have some major implications–and it could be the next step toward developing a new kind of conflict in the fourth year of Destiny 2.

Rasputin is a character who has existed since the start of the original Destiny, and yet one we know little about. During the Golden Age, the period of prosperity that started with the arrival of the Traveler in Destiny lore, Rasputin had control of defenses for the entire solar system. It is possibly the only character in Destiny who was present for the big apocalyptic event known as The Collapse. Rasputin’s connections with all those defenses were cut over the centuries that followed the Collapse; most of the Season of the Worthy has been centered around restoring Rasputin’s capabilities so it can shoot down a giant Cabal spaceship, the Almighty, before it crashes into the Last City and kills everybody.

Reconnecting Rasputin to its defenses has given the computer a whole bunch of power, something that a few Destiny characters have voiced concerns over. Since Rasputin was first rediscovered back in Destiny 1, Zavala has been concerned that the Warmind shouldn’t be trusted. After all, despite having an army of Guardians on its side, humanity is on its last legs in the Destiny universe. A rogue computer with a bunch of orbital weapons satellites is not an enemy that the Guardians’ leadership, the Vanguard, really wants to have to deal with. And while Rasputin’s mandate is to protect humanity, who knows how exactly it might decide to go about that–or whether his internal circuitry is in prime condition hundreds of years after his construction.

Apple TV+’s Show About A Game Developer Gets Its Own Quarantine Episode

If there’s one show that’s ever truly captured what it’s like to work in the video game industry, it’s Apple TV+’s Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet. If you’re a gamer or at all interested in the industry, Mythic Quest almost single-handedly makes subscribing to Apple TV+ worth it. And now the show is jumping on the COVID-19 bandwagon and getting its very own quarantine special, much like Parks and Rec and others before it.

Mythic Quest: Quarantine will stream on Apple TV+ beginning Friday, May 22. The special will follow the developers of the titular massive online video game as they contend with the new Work From Home world necessitated by the global pandemic. Given that MQ is an Apple TV+ exclusive, it’s not surprising to hear that this half-hour episode was shot entirely on iPhones. Check out the trailer below.

Mythic Quest stars It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney, who also serves as executive producer and co-creator along with Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz. It’s produced in part by Ubisoft Motion Pictures and Lionsgate Television. The cast also includes F. Murray Abraham, Charlotte Nicdao, Community’s Danny Pudi, Imani Hakim, Ashly Burch (known for her video game voice work), David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket on It’s Always Sunny), and others.
