The beloved mobile game, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, is undergoing a significant transformation, evolving into Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete. This isn't just an update, it's a complete overhaul designed to bring a richer, more streamlined experience to players while preserving the core charm of collecting, crafting, and connecting with adorable animal friends. In this article, we’ll go over everything you should know about the new Animal Crossing game in 2024 - ACPC Complete release date, updates, features, price, pre-order/pre-registration, and data transfer guide.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp in its current online form will end service on November 28th at 3:00 PM Universal Time (the 27th or 28th depending on your local time zone). A new Animal Crossing game, which is the offline version of the game called Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete will be released on December 3rd (likely at midnight local time), available for pre-order now. While existing items, villagers, crafting materials, bells, and player level will carry over to the new app, Leaf Tickets and Pocket Camp Club subscriptions will not. The new app will be a one-time purchase with no microtransactions, unlike the current version. The reason for this change is unconfirmed, but speculation suggests it's due to server maintenance costs.
Animal Crossing Pocket Camp End Date: 3:00 PM UTC on November 28, 2024
Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete Release Date: December 3, 2024
How to get the Pocket Camp Complete? Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete, a paid app with no in-app purchases, is available for pre-order on iOS and pre-registration on Android. This one-time purchase grants access to all features, but it's platform-specific, meaning separate purchases are required for iOS and Android devices. The gameplay remains similar to the original Pocket Camp, allowing players to manage campsites, fish, craft, and decorate. The game is scheduled to release on December 3, 2024. An early bird discount brings the price down to $9.99 USD until January 31, 2025. After this period, the regular price will be $19.99 USD.

In Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete, several new features and updates will be introduced.
Complete Tickets
A new feature similar to the fortune cookie picker will be available, where players can use Complete Tickets to receive items they may have missed in the past. Complete tickets can be earned through gameplay and will function similarly to stamp cards.
Leaf Tokens
Leaf Tickets will be replaced with Leaf Tokens, which can be earned through gameplay activities such as completing goals and exchanging Bells. The conversion rate between Leaf Tokens and the cost of items appears to be balanced, especially for players who have not previously spent money on the game.
Camper Cards
In addition, a new system for interacting with friends will be introduced. Players will be able to create their own amiibo-like cards with a QR code that can be scanned by others to add them to the player's game. Friends will then appear in a new area called Whistle Pass, where they may show up with gifts. It is unclear whether the current friend mechanics will still be available for events such as garden events.
New and Returning Events
New events will continue to be held in ACPC Complete, with a specific timeline in place until September 2025. There will be a 4-year cycle of events, allowing players to participate in events they may have missed in the past. New cookies and items will also be added to the game.
New Event Release Schedule: December 2024, April 2025, July 2025 & September 2025
