After seven years Nintendo is ending online service for mobile game Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp this November.
The game itself isn’t going away, but will transition from a live service, free-to-play game into a paid app without in-app purchases. That means no more Pocket Camp Club subscriptions, or Leaf Tickets, or online gameplay.
You have until November 28 to redeem any Leaf Tickets you have left. Leaf Ticket sales will end November 26.
Nintendo explains how the subscription service will work with the upcoming transition. October 28 is the cutoff for any new subscriptions or renewals. For anyone who has a subscription past October 28, there will be a grace period that extends until online service ends on November 28.
Save data will carry over to the paid version, and most features will be unlocked. Any features that require an online connection, such as multiplayer gifts, will not be available.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp launched in 2017 as a mobile spin-off of the the popular life sim series. Players could earn Leaf Tickets by completing tasks, or purchasing them outright. Leaf Tickets could be used to purchase special items, reduce timers, or craft without using normal materials.
Pocket Camp also featured random loot boxes in the form of fortune cookies, and in 2019, introduced paid subscription plans for additional features and bonuses.
Details on Pocket Camp’s new price come November have not yet been announced.
