Launched in 2017, this mobile version of the popular Animal Crossing series has allowed players to create and customize their own campsites, interact with various animal characters, and participate in seasonal events and activities. Over the years, the game has introduced a wide variety of furniture, clothing, and other decorative items, making it a beloved experience for fans of the franchise.

As the online service concludes, Nintendo is providing players with the option to continue their Pocket Camp experience through a new offline, paid version of the game. This offline version allows players to enjoy their campsites without requiring an internet connection, though it will mean losing access to online features like special events, multiplayer interactions, and updates.

Nintendo has also ensured that existing players can transfer their save data to the new version, so they won’t lose the progress they’ve made over the years. As mentioned, Further details about this transition, including pricing and additional features of the offline version, are expected to be announced in October 2024.
