A free-to-play mobile game Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp goes the way of the dodo On November 28. However, it is replaced by a paid (mostly) so-called offline version Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is complete. This update falls on December 3mobile gives Animal Crossing players just a few days without access to their favorite camps.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is complete it won’t be cheap. It will be $10 from December 2nd to January 25th. After that, the price will double to $20. Tom Nook doesn’t mess around. However, it will allow existing players to transfer save data and progress through their Nintendo Account. It should be a boon for those who have been with the title since 2017. These players have until June 1st to transfer data from the old version to the new game.
The paid version will be different from the original in some ways. First of all, Leaf Tickets are replaced by Leaf Tokens, most likely the tickets were purchased using real money and this is no longer a freemium game. There’s also something called Camper Cards, which Nintendo calls “customizable in-game cards that each player can create and trade via QR code and contain information like your personal favorite animal friend.” QR codes? Everyone loves them.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is complete also loses sharing the gift and market box. There are a few other caveats for previous players. First of all, there are no discounts for current campers, even those who have paid a regular monthly subscription. Some people have been has been paying these subsidies for years.
Finally, Nintendo plans to end support for the game next October. according to Kotaku. I’m no economist, but spending $20 on a cell phone that will stop receiving updates in less than a year doesn’t sound like fiscal responsibility. Anyway, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is complete It will be available for both iOS and Android in December.
