After announcing the shutdown of its online version, Animal Crossing has unveiled some exciting news today. Remember how Nintendo was planning to release a paid offline version of the game? Well, they've just announced the release date. Mark your calendars because 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 Pocket Camp is scheduled to officially shut down on November 29th. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete, the offline version, promises to be a reimagined experience. It's available as a one-time purchase. If you grab it before January 31st, 2025, you can get it for $9.99. After that, the price will increase to $19.99.
As the name suggests, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete is a comprehensive package. It includes years' worth of seasonal items, events, and everything else that Pocket Camp has accumulated since its launch in 2017.

So, Will There Be Any New Features in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete?
Absolutely! One of the exciting new features is the ability to create your own Camper Cards. These are essentially personal trading cards that let you showcase your unique style.
