Nintendo Is Shutting Down Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp!

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

Yes, you read that correctly! Nintendo has announced the end of service (EOS) for its popular mobile game, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, leaving many players surprised. The news comes just days before the game's seventh anniversary.

When is the Shutdown?

Online services for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will cease on November 28th, 2024. This means no more Leaf Tickets, and Pocket Camp Club memberships will no longer auto-renew after October 28th (no refunds for existing memberships after this date, but you will receive a commemorative badge). Your last chance to acquire Leaf Tickets is November 26th. The final online farewell is scheduled for 7:00 AM PST on November 28th.

The Good News: An Offline Version is Coming!

While online services are ending, Nintendo plans to release a paid offline version of the game. While features like the Market Box, gifting, and visiting friends' campsites will be absent, the core gameplay will remain. Your saved progress will carry over, allowing continued play without an internet connection. More details on this paid offline version are expected around October 2024.

A Trend of Mobile Game Closures?

This closure follows a pattern of Nintendo gradually discontinuing its mobile titles. Dr. Mario World and Dragalia Lost have already been shut down, and Mario Kart Tour is currently in maintenance mode.
