After announcing the shutdown of its online version, Animal Crossing has shared some exciting news today. Nintendo, which had been planning to release a paid offline version of the game, has now revealed the release date. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete, the new offline version, is set to launch on Android on December 3rd.
What Else Do We Know?
The current free-to-play version of Pocket Camp will officially shut down on November 29th. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete, the offline version, will be a reimagined version of the game available as a one-time purchase. It's priced at $9.99 if you purchase it before January 31st, 2025. After that date, the price will increase to $19.99.
As the name suggests, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete will be a comprehensive package, including years of seasonal items, events, and everything else that Pocket Camp has accumulated since its launch in 2017. You'll still be able to set up your dream campsite, choosing from over 10,000 items.
So, Will There Be Any New Features in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete?
Yes, one of the new features is the ability to create your own Camper Cards. These are essentially personal trading cards that allow you to showcase your style. You can choose a pose, select a color, and you're ready to go. You can even exchange these cards with other players! For a closer look, check out the latest trailer here.
Another new addition is a hangout spot called Whistle Pass, where all your Camper Card buddies can gather, complete with guitar jams under the stars. Speaking of transitioning, Nintendo has made it possible to transfer your old Pocket Camp save data into the new version. You have until June 2nd, 2025, to do this.
Even though Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete will be an offline game, Nintendo has mentioned that it will require occasional internet checks to verify time and account information. Additionally, all the seasonal events, from Halloween spookiness to summer festivals, will be retained.
