Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Closing, Nintendo Announces

Nintendo's Popular Mobile Game, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, is Shutting Down

The news is out: Nintendo is ending online services for its mobile game, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, on November 28th, 2024. This announcement has surprised many fans. Let's explore the details.

End of Service Date and Final Opportunities

Mark your calendars! November 28th, 2024, marks the end of online play for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. This comes just days after the game's seventh anniversary on November 21st.

Players will no longer be able to acquire Leaf Tickets or renew Pocket Camp Club memberships. Auto-renewal for Pocket Camp Club memberships will cease on October 28th, with no refunds for existing memberships after that date (though a commemorative badge will be awarded). Your last chance to purchase Leaf Tickets is November 26th. Say goodbye to the online community at 7:00 AM PST on November 28th.

A Silver Lining: Offline Play

While the online experience is ending, Nintendo plans to release a paid offline version of the game. This version will lack online features such as Market Boxes, gifting, and visiting friends' campsites. However, players will retain their saved progress and enjoy core gameplay without an internet connection. Expect more information on this paid offline version around October 2024.

Nintendo's Mobile Game Strategy

This closure continues a trend of Nintendo phasing out its mobile games. Following the shutdowns of Dr. Mario World and Dragalia Lost, and the maintenance mode of Mario Kart Tour, the closing of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is, unfortunately, not entirely unexpected.

Don't miss your final chance to play online! Download Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp from the Google Play Store. Stay tuned for our upcoming coverage of Netflix's Monument Valley 3.
