Nintendo is launching a new title in the "Animal Crossing" franchise, but this time around, it will not be for any Nintendo device. "Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp" will be released this November for iPhones and Android devices. Players will be able to access the game for free and enjoy the fun gameplay elements that make the "Animal Crossing" games a hit.
In this new game, players will be able to build their own camps from scratch instead of just developing them. Some familiar components of in the franchise are still present in "Pocket Camp," including Isabelle, who will once again guide players in their journey.
Players will also be able to visit other camps and interact with other players. To build new structures and facilities, players need to collect crafting items as requirements for the new amenities. These items can also be purchased using the in-game currency of Leaf Tickets, which players can earn through various activities in the game. Players may also obtain Leaf Tickets by purchasing them using real money.
Aside from the camp, players will also be given their own camper van that they can customize. They can also use this van to move to other places, such as the beach and the forest, where they can collect resources needed for the camp.
The game takes place on a normal 24-hour cycle, which means that the camp will have the same time as the real world.
Nintendo has not given a specific date for the release of "Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp," but players in Australia will enjoy an early release and may now download the game on both Android and iOS devices.
As Kotaku notes, players located in other countries who cannot wait to try the game may also download the game using a method to trick the App store.
