Ensuring Freya’s arrival in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Interested gamers can easily add Freya to their village by purchasing an Amiibo card. To add her to the game, you can follow the steps mentioned below:
- Open up the Nook Stop terminal at the Resident Services building.
- Choose and select the Invite Amiibo camper option.
- Remember that existing campsite members will be replaced if you proceed further.
- The game will prompt the player to scan the Amiibo card, which they must follow.
- Freya will now be added to the campsite but will not be able to move in just yet.
- Enter Freya’s tent and fulfill her request.
