Update: Below is what you can expect. The event starts on 13th September.
Original article: As the wait continues for the next mainline entry in the Animal Crossing series to be announced, Nintendo remains focused on the micro-transaction mobile release, Pocket Camp. Anyone who plays this game on a regular basis will be aware of the special events encouraging players to spend their Bells and perhaps even drop some real-life money every now and then.
The latest news regarding Pocket Camp is via Isabelle's Twitter page, with the following tweet posted:
As can be seen above, the picture is of a gyroid from the Animal Crossing series covered in neon pink and green paint. Isabelle even says it looks familiar, so we're guessing a Splatoon crossover event is on the way. Presumably, there'll be special items, clothing, and accessories up for grabs. The recently shut down Miitomo for mobile also had Splatoon events where players could obtain themed items and clothing.
Have you played Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp before? Would a potential crossover event encourage you to try it out? Tell us below.

Dagnabbit, campers are the worst!
Yup, this is exactly the type of Animal Crossing news I've been waiting for. Maybe if we're lucky we'll get Happy Home Designer 2 and Amiibo Festival 2 for Switch.
Really though, this is interesting because I just bought Wild World used at Gamestop today. It's the first time I've broken out the 3DS for a play session since I finished Samus Returns. I put like 400 hours into New Leaf and didn't want to start that over so I figured I'd scratch my AC itch with the DS version I missed the first time around. So far it's great! It's pretty clear that New Leaf is an improved version that built upon Wild World's foundation but that doesn't stop WW from being a lot of fun in its own right. A fine example of a 13 year old game standing tall against the test of time.
Would rather prefer a Switch game
@JHDK "Maybe if we're lucky we'll get Happy Home Designer 2 and Amiibo Festival 2 for Switch."
Ha ha! I actually like Happy Home Designer. It's a good companion to New Leaf.
But, yeah, give us a proper Animal Crossing game for the Switch. That's what I really want, not this gimmicky crossover nonsense.
As someone who actually plays Pocket Camp (way too much) this will be great. I’m just hoping it’s not fortune cookie related.
@JHDK "Maybe if we're lucky we'll get Happy Home Designer 2 and Amiibo Festival 2 for Switch."
If only this were real
@JHDK "Yup, this is exactly the type of Animal Crossing news I've been waiting for. Maybe if we're lucky we'll get Happy Home Designer 2 and Amiibo Festival 2 for Switch. Or even better, ports of both!"
I've Viewed your ideas through a rose colored lens for long enough. it's time i accepted the truth. This is no Mayor's quest to roam in his town or helping his villagers. this is a Amibo Festival and i will no longer be a part of it.
What scares me is Nintendo letting AC get sucked into the mobile hell hole and never giving us that real successor to New Leaf...
Mobile game micro-transactions are the heroin of the game industry... As destructive as they are addictive for companies.
@JHDK Wild World is my favorite in the series. So it makes me glad when I hear other people enjoy it.
It basically improved everything it took from the original game, even if some things got lost in the transition.
@Deku-Scrub,
We will get a proper Animal crossing game on the Switch,it's just a question of when it's announced..and with new leaf becoming the best selling title in the series Nintendo will want to get a new title out for the Switch out as soon as possible.
Okay these outfits are really cute, I can’t wait!
@Yasaal,
Told ya...but I did not expect an announcement until early 2019 to be honest.
Very happy though.
@johnvboy Same I'm really happy we got it. If we get it in early 2019 I'd ascend XD
A March release would make me squeal but I'm happy we got a confirmation for now
@Yasaal,
Getting very excited at the thought of being put into debt by Tom Nook all over again.
