Nintendo has confirmed it’s shutting down Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp at the end of the year, shifting focus to a “paid version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp” which will release “in the future”.
The current free iteration of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp – which has been running for seven years – will close at 3pm UK time on 28th November 2024.
Players who’d like to try the new premium game will be able to transfer over their save data (albeit not Leaf Tickets), and the new Animal Crossing game will not require a constant internet connection, nor “contain any in-app purchases”.
From 28th October, you won’t be able to purchase a new Pocket Camp subscription, and any existing subs will not renew.
