Natsume has announced the new DLC and showed one shadow of the two persons, who are going to move into the valley. Here is a picture of the announcement from facebook and the one shadow:

What kind of person could this be?
Is it a boy or a girl?

From my point of view, it looks like this person has a bag on the right side and on the left side some sort of pockets. It could be male or female. He or she could be some sort of archaeologist.

EDIT: Natsume published today the first Q&A for the new bachelor. Here is part 1:
BREAKING NEWS STORY
New Bachelor Moving To Town
Good morning, fellow newshounds! Naomi here, on the trail of the HOTTEST NEWS STORY YET! Our interviewee has agreed to sit down if we promise not to show his face. An unusual request, to be sure, but the editor in chief at the paper was willing to do so, and here we are with a brand new interview! Let’s kick things off with a few basic questions before we dive into the juicy details:

Q: Mystery gentleman, can we have your name?
A: Sure! My name's Luke!

Q: So, let's get back to basics as they say these days: how old are you, and when is your birthday?
A: My birthday is Summer 7th! And how old am I? Uh... Oh jeez, I forgot!

Q: What do you do for a living, Luke?
A: I'm studying how to make medicine from herbs! I'm especially interested in studying rare plant life! I've travelled all over studying medicine! It's because I love helping people, you know?

Q: Do you like animals?
A: Of course! But human patients are my specialty. I'll leave the animal care to the real professionals!

Q: What attracted you to Hillsville?
A: Well, the Lost Valley was really lost until recently I hear, having been under a curse of eternal winter! Now that the seasons are back, I can't wait to see what secrets the valley might hold! Hopefully a bunch of ingredients for new medicines!

Q: So you're definitely moving in?
A: I'm still figuring that out, but if I decide to stay I'll probably move in sometime in the middle of June!

Q: I see you’re carrying a bag! What's inside it?
A: Oh, I'm glad you asked! Let's see here... I've got some basil, lavender, chamomile, ginger, some garlic, a pinch of...

Oh my readers, it seems we've lost him for the moment...keep watching for Part 2 of our interview!
BREAKING NEWS STORY: PART 2!
Who is this mysterious man?!

Good evening, fellow newshounds! Naomi here, back with the newest eligible bachelor coming to The Lost Valley.

Q: Now that you’re done rummaging in your bag Luke, next question! Do you have any siblings?
A: Uh, not that I know of! But life is full of surprises, so you never know, right?

Q: What's your favorite food? Is there any sweets you're particularly fond of?
A: I'm a big fan of tomatoes, actually! They're quite healthy for you, you know! I like most vegetables, actually!

Q: Do you have someone special in your life?
A: Not right now! Travelling and studying medicine has kept me pretty busy! But...maybe I'd stay put...for the right girl.

Q: What do you do in your spare time?
A: I enjoy hiking! Walking somewhere new lets me discover new plants to use in my medicines!

Q: Is there anything you're looking for in a lovely lady?
A: Just someone with an open mind, you know? And maybe someone who can teach me to be more focused on stuff!

Q: Let's see here...*shuffles notes*... "Do you bleed?" My audience asks some very bizarre questions!
A: I...prefer not to!

Q: Well then, a final question: are you willing to reveal anything about how you look?
A: Hmm... Let's say I’m a blue-eyed blond! You'll have to spot me around the valley to discover anything else!

And so ended the interview with the mysterious new man moving to The Lost Valley! It sounds like he's arriving in just a few short weeks, so stay tuned for more information – and maybe even more interviews!

BIG NEWS FROM HILLSVILLE!
New Bachelorette Spotted in the Valley

Good morning, fellow newshounds! Naomi here, on the trail of a SPICY NEWS STORY! Our interviewee has agreed to sit down if we promise not to show her face. We've seen this request before with Luke, but the editor in chief at the paper was willing to do so once again, so here we are with a brand new interview! Let's kick things off with the basic questions before we dive into the juicy details:

Q: Mystery lady, can we have your name?
A: Of course. My name is Andrea.

Q: So, how old are you, and when is your birthday?
A: I am 22 years old, and my birthday is Winter 21st.

Q: What do you do for a living, Andrea? I see you have a bag with you!
A: As you may be able to tell from my appearance, I am a clocksmith. Therefore, I work with very small items that need to be magnified. My satchel is filled with clock parts, blueprints, and notes where I write down my latest ideas for new kinds of clocks.

Q: Do you like animals? How do you feel about dogs?
A: I like animals a lot, actually, and dogs are kind of like a clock in and of themselves: they wake you up in the morning, go for walks with you in the afternoon, and lay down to sleep with you at night.

Q: What attracted you to Hillsville?
A: Well, I was already a resident of Hillsville, but I was looking for a secluded studio for my clockmaking so I could concentrate without any interruptions. I had hoped to find a studio in the Lost Valley, but, well, that is a story for another time...

Q: Your hair is very long! How do you get it to grow so beautifully?
A: Like my clocks, it is simply my own personal style. I feel that my looks are an extension of my personality, and therefore I always try to convey that.

Q: I see you’re wearing some very unique eyewear! Do you have poor vision?
A: Thank you for the compliment. This was actually a gift from my grandfather. When I wear it, I feel like good ideas will come to me. It also helps me when I'm working, of course.

Keep watching for Part 2 of Andrea's interview coming later today!
BACHELORETTE SPILLS THE BEANS
Andrea Answers More Questions Prior to her Move to Hillsville

Good evening, fellow newshounds! Naomi here, on the trail of our hottest news story yet! We're back with the second half of this eligible bachelorette's replies to her recent Q&A. Keep reading for all the juicy details~ Missed Part 1? Read it here: https://www.facebook.com/NatsumeInc/pho ... 97/?type=1

Q: Let’s see what our readers wanted to know…how about do you have any siblings?
A: No, I don't have any siblings. However, my father has been both an excellent parent to me, as well as teaching me how to become a great clocksmith.

Q: What's your favorite food? Do you like fish?
A: I don't really have a favorite food. Anything that can provide sustenance to me while I'm making clocks is good enough for me.

Q: Do you have someone special in your life? Have you made any friends in your brief visits to Hillsville?
A: I'm always open to making new friends, and I would certainly be open to a relationship if we both matched up well.

Q: What do you do in your spare time?
A: I spend most of my time thinking about new designs for clocks.

Q: Is there anything you're looking for in a suave gentleman?
A: Someone who inspires me...especially if that someone can inspire me to make the best clocks I can make.

Q: Let's see here...*shuffles notes*... "Do you bleed?" NOT AGAIN!
A: ...

Q: Well then, a final question: are you willing to reveal anything about how you look?
A: I have brown hair with a twist, and green eyes...

And so ended the interview with the mysterious woman! It seems like she's coming very soon, maybe even next week! See you next interview fellow newshounds~

Well, it seems they finally delivered.

Too bad about 90% of us are already married/finished the storyline.


I haven't touched the game in months.

I deliberately put off getting married in the game I am running right now on the off chance that this would be a thing; it's year 5 and likely to be about year 7 by the time it actually comes out LOL. My other game (WAAAAAAY behind, just about to unlock Fall after a year of solid Winter) could probably get married around year 2 with some dedication and

. Oh, wait, I forgot about the house building and she's only been sporadically mining...add a year or so to that LOL.

I'm pretty sure they say that's a guy in the post unless I'm misunderstanding.

Eh hopefully the girl cool since I already got married on my file being a female and really wanted to play as a male on the other if hubby didn't want it. ((He still has yet to decide it.))
*Is insane and proud of it*
Me:Isn't that right,Sheo?
Sheogorath:Cheese for everyone.Wait, scratch that. Cheese for no one.
Me:....
Sheogorath:The isles, the isles...
Me:*needs to stop talking to the video game*

Cee-cee strongly implied that we'd be seeing a female marriageable character as well :).

Thanks.
Hope she's cool though too. x3 So far April is my fave bachelorette but tbh not that interested in the marriage candidates of either gender and pretty much just married for the baby on the first file. x3

Yeah, I could have married any of the bachelorettes about....2 years ago...if I had chosen to LOL. We'll see if the newbies are fun, if not, I guess I am going with Emily. April is okay, but I intensely dislike spoiled people, so Catherine bugs me LOL.

Yes but if you read the passage it says "mysterious gentleman" so it seems like our shadow with the bag is a dude.


I had one of the bachelor reverse propose to me but I never got married, I saved be for he confessed to me and I haven't played it since -_-
Unless this new character blows me out of the water I'm probably not going to pick the game back up.

WOW. JUST WOW.

So it's NOT Gareth? Seriously, what? After all of the fans practically begged for Gareth and Tabitha, they come up with this?

I'm done. I was thinking about buying the game once Gareth was revealed, but now I'm out. Just no.

You´r right.
I have totally overseen this because of my anticipation.

I think, you just over reacted, because you have just seen the shadow and know nothing more.
Maybe they are Garreth´s and Tabitha´s little siblings. ;)

Just wait until you have more information, before you judge it. ;)

I've never gotten married. I've been too busy working on my valley to bother with relationships. I'm either in my third or 4th year now.

Well, excuse the developers for having this thing called a vision and they have every right to decide what they want to do with their characters. If they don't envision them to be marriageable, then so be it. I wish I could've married the HG in this game, but if she's not meant to be, we just have to accept it. Fans can only give them inputs, but they don't have to follow everything we want.

People want more marriage candidates, and they're listening. These new characters can possibly be better than Gareth and Tabatha.

I'm glad it's not them. Why do you care so much if you don't even have the game...? :shifty:
