Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Will Go Offline in November 2024

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will have its most drastic change in late November 2024. Nintendo has announced that it will end its services for the free-to-play online version on November 28, 2024, at 3 PM UTC / 11 AM ET. The company added that it will release a new flat-fee offline version of the Animal Crossing title around the same time.

Nintendo originally released Pocket Camp for Android and iOS devices in late November 2017. That means the mobile game will pass its seventh anniversary on a rather somber note. However, existing players do not have to worry about their play data. Players will be able to transfer their data to the offline version, provided they have linked it to a Nintendo Account.

The paid offline version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will retain most of the app’s gameplay features. However, it will not have features that require online connections and purchases, such as gifts, Market Boxes, Leaf Tickets, and visits to other players’ campsites.

The original free-to-play online version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is available until November 28, 2024. Nintendo will release a single-purchase offline version of the iOS and Android mobile game to replace the former. The company will publish more details about the latter in October 2024.
