Nintendo Is Shutting Down Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp!

Nintendo is shutting down Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp! The popular mobile game's end-of-service (EOS) date has been announced, leaving many players surprised. Let's explore the details.

The Shutdown Date: November 28th, 2024

Online services for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will cease on November 28th, 2024. This means no more Leaf Tickets, and no more Pocket Camp Club memberships after October 28th (auto-renewal ends then; no refunds after that date, but you'll receive a commemorative badge). Your last chance to purchase Leaf Tickets is November 26th. The final online farewell is November 28th at 7:00 AM PST.

A Silver Lining: An Offline Version!

Nintendo plans to release a paid offline version of the game. While features like Market Boxes, gifts, and visiting friends' campsites will be absent, the core gameplay will remain. Your saved progress will transfer, and you can continue playing without an internet connection. Expect more details around October 2024.

Nintendo's Mobile Game Strategy

This shutdown follows a pattern of Nintendo discontinuing mobile games, including Dr. Mario World and Dragalia Lost, with Mario Kart Tour also undergoing significant changes.
