While players were assured that they would be able to transfer their data to a new Animal Crossing mobile game releasing sometime in the future, details were scarce, prompting many fans to express their worries and fond memories of the game on social media.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete Release Date

  • December 3, 2024 for iOS and Android


Along with the return of popular Animal Crossing characters and standard gameplay, the new version of the mobile game will also introduce some new features. Players will be able to create Camper Cards, which can be used to introduce themselves to other fans in-game via QR codes. After registering a friend’s Camper Card, they will randomly appear at the Whistle Pass, a new location in Pocket Camp Complete which will also feature live guitar performances. Additionally, taking part in events will reward players with Complete Tickets which can be exchanged for limited edition items of fortune cookies. New events and items will be added to the title until at least September 2025, according to Nintendo.

By linking their current Pocket Camp save data with a Nintendo Account, players will be able to transfer their current campsite by logging into Pocket Camp Complete using the same account. All animal friendship levels, Bells, furniture, crafting items, outfits, and layouts will be transferred, but Leaf Tickets will no longer be usable. Players have until November 29 to link their Pocket Camp data with their Nintendo account.


The Animal Crossing franchise remains one of Nintendo’s most beloved, with love for the series seeing a major resurgence after the release of New Horizons in 2020. The Switch title has sold over 45 million copies globally, making it the second best-selling game on the console after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Understandably, many fans of the franchise have begun to speculate that a follow-up to Animal Crossing: New Horizons may appear on Nintendo’s next console.
