Since Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp's limited access soft-launch a short time ago the rest of the world has waited patiently for its chance to join the fun, and evidence would suggest that moment isn't far away.
Nintendo has always maintained that the game would launch globally in November, but has so far refused to give a solid date. Now, a series of events have combined to give us a pretty good idea of when the day will be: November 21st.
The game's current login bonus schedule is the first hint; it ends on November 21st. Then we have the ongoing Google Play campaign in Japan, which ends on November 20th, the day before. The third piece of the puzzle is the Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Friend Finder web game, which gives you a set amount of time to unlock all the wallpapers. Yep, the time ends on November 21st.
It would seem that Nintendo is getting everything in order to launch the game fully, as all of these campaigns ending would suggest that a new phase in the game's life is about to begin. Are you excited? Let us know with a comment. And if you still can't wait, then check out our guide on how to get the game right now.

Gonna try some AC mobile action next week then.
[laughs from Australia]
For realsies though, it’s fun for a free game. Keep in mind that there are a couple of limited time items that require the currency you can either earn or pay for (the items themselves have perks), so anyone sticking to free-to-play: look into the options for how you can earn the currency once you’re playing. It might feel like you can only get one of the two items, but you can certainly earn both with continuous play.
I keep forgetting that this isn't out everywhere yet. Then again, I keep forgetting that it exists altogether as I'm not interested. Just gonna keep waiting for a Animal Crossing for Switch announcement.
Tried this for a short time, have to say I thought it was terrible. They take the relaxed pace of AC and stick timers on everything. It's committed the ultimate sin : It's an animal crossing game that's devoid of charm. It looks every inch the part but it's an AC mask on what amounts to a turgid idle tapper.
I’m pretty far into this, lv 32.
Don’t spend tickets till you’ve been playing a while and know what you’re doing.
Try and rotate the right kind of villager into camp eg. sporty, when you upgrade the corresponding Amenity.
I'm not patiently waiting!
HURRY UP!!
At least it's not miitomo, that was given a March release date, and it came out on March 31. I'm really looking forward to playing this, and this isn't a terrible wait from now.
Fun game, can`t wait to merge it with my Nintendo account and start getting platinum points.
I just hope I'm not an unhappy camper, mad intense/in tents. 👋👋 Thank you, thank you. I'll show myself out.
Can't wait to give it a go!
Sooooooooooo -> excited for this.
Even been revisiting New Leaf to get my full.
I'm really hoping that Nintendo releases this app optimized for iPhone X. So far none of their current mobile apps take advantage of the added screen real estate. I'm really hoping since this app hasn't had a full release yet, and since the iPhone X tech specs have been known for some time now, that the app will launch fully optimized for the device. Also, can't wait to start playing this but I refuse to spend any real-world money on this.
after a couple of weeks of playing i think i'm already about done with it. lvl 33 now and there's not really any new things to do anymore. i hope they'll update it regularly.
@DarthFoxMcCloud SMR has been updated for iPhone X
@manu0 I'll admit, I haven't been back to SMR since I finished all the worlds and maxed out my kingdom. Hopefully Fire Emblem Heroes gets updated for iPhone X as well as Animal Crossing when it launches.
I may look at it, Animal Crossing games have kinda gone stale for me. City Folk didn't last long before I took it back, and New Leaf was even shorter than that.
Looking forward to it.
Let's hope it's a worldwide release then. I wasn't able to play Waifu Emblem Heroes as well due to that reason...
Can't wait to play this and honestly don't want to wait anymore.
Still not interested in this at all.
We’ve had it in OZ for some time now. Gets old quick
@Yasaal how can it be a worldwide release if it’s already out in one region?
@ShadJV Worldwide as in that every country can get it, because some countries just plain didnt get Fire Emblem Heroes for example.
I've uninstalled this game already. Was fun for a few days, then gets super tedious.
@ShadJV By worldwide I meant it releases everywhere not just NA, EU, JP and AU. The Middle East, African, South American and West Asian countries got left out with Fire Emblem Heroes and so I'm hoping it's a 'worldwide release' (as in releases in all those places as well) so I have a chance to play Animal Crossing as well. Like I said, we missed out on Waifu Emblem Heroes and I'm hoping against hope that doesn't happen with AC.
@Yasaal oh apologies, I did not realize FEH didn’t release in some regions, I feel ignorant. I hope that this does indeed release everywhere then.
@ShadJV Yeah. I really hope it's worldwide. The only game available for us right now is Mario Run
I have been enjoying playing the game almost daily, but the real draw for me is potential added content in future updates. As it is, the content is a little thin. Fun, but thin.
@nunberry wait what do you mean sticks timers on everything. So does regular AC. Timers for fruit to grow back, timers for furniture to be painted, time for day to turn to night. It's the ultimate casual idle game. Unless you're one of the players who constantly adjusts their clock to fast forward in AC, this isn't anything new.
@Lady_D that is true, but it's less of a "to play optimally, return here in 3 hours 59 mins" and more of a "if you want more coconuts, come back in a couple of days. " The countdowns in pocket camp created a weird sense of urgency for me that was at odds with the spirit of AC.
