Nintendo to close down free-to-play mobile Animal Crossing Pocket Camp

Nintendo has confirmed that it will be retiring its free-to-play Animal Crossing mobile game, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, on November 28, replacing it with a “paid version.”

While the company did not reveal what the new game will feature or how much it will cost, it did confirm that the new game will not “contain any in-app purchases” or an always-on internet connection.

More is expected to be revealed in October 2024.

Players who wish to carry over their progress will see their save data carried over, though the game's premium currency, Leaf Tickets, will not be available when the premium version launches, so players are advised to spend them before the shutdown in November.

Subscribed players will continue to be charged until October 28, after which even automatic renewals will be cancelled.

Nintendo also pulled the plug on Mario Kart Tour late last year.
