Nintendo has confirmed it is shutting down Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp At the end of the year, the focus will be on a “paid version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp”, which will be released “in the future”.

In a statement, the developer/publisher said it would share more details about the premium game in October 2024, and thanked players for their “patience and understanding”.
