Nintendo has confirmed that online services for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will end on November 28, closing one of the company’s longest-running mobile apps.
First released in 2017 for iOS and Android, Pocket Camp brought the Animal Crossing experience to smartphones and achieved sustained engagement through seasonal events, in-app purchases and social features.
In an official announcement on Nintendo’s website, the company laid out a timetable for the wind-down.
Nintendo stated that planned maintenance will take place on October 28, seven years after the game’s initial launch, after which players will no longer be able to purchase subscriptions.
The sale of Leaf Tickets, the game’s premium in-app currency, will end a day earlier on November 27.
Online services, including multiplayer and server-enabled content, are scheduled to terminate on November 28.
Nintendo also outlined post-shutdown plans.
The company confirmed a paid offline version of Pocket Camp is planned, and that players will be able to transfer their save data using their Nintendo Accounts.
Nintendo made clear that any outstanding Leaf Tickets will not carry over to the offline release.
The announcement says further details about the transition and the offline version will be provided in October.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp was developed for mobile platforms with Nintendo as the publisher and involved collaboration with DeNA, a partner on several of Nintendo’s mobile initiatives.
The title was distributed through the App Store and Google Play and used Nintendo Account integration for optional features and cross-service handling of user data.
For players and industry observers, the scheduled shutdown marks the end of a significant chapter for Nintendo’s mobile strategy.
Pocket Camp’s seven-year run put it among Nintendo’s longest-operating mobile apps, and the transition plan — including a paid offline option and Nintendo Account transfers — will be central to how the community retains progress after online services conclude.
Nintendo’s official site remains the primary source for the latest, verified information.
Players should check that site in October for precise instructions on saving data, the timing and pricing of the offline release, and any additional support notes related to the closure of online features.
