If you've been regularly playing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, you may recall that back in 2019, Nintendo teamed up with Sanrio for a crossover event.
Bringing us a steady rollout of Sanrio character-themed items that included Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll and Keroppi, a new collaboration has just been announced.
Calling this the "Sanrio Characters Collection 2021", they're introducing a fresh round of Sanrio-themed items, going live from March 26th (6am GMT) until May 9th. If you missed out the first time, Nintendo has confirmed those previous rewards will also be available, giving players a second chance.
Outlining what to expect, Nintendo released a new trailer, alongside this press release:
Sanrio®, the global lifestyle brand best known for its pop icons such as Hello Kitty®, Aggretsuko™ and Keroppi™, is once again bringing the friendship, kindness and cuteness of its characters to Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. From March 25 at 11 p.m. PT to May 9 at 10:59 p.m. PT, the Sanrio Characters Collection 2021 in-game event will bring Sanrio character-themed items to players’ campsites. While enjoying relaxation and recreation in the game’s welcoming “great outdoors” setting, fans can also enjoy fun Sanrio-themed surprises! You can view a new video about the in-game event here.
From now through the end of the in-game event, players can experience the following additions to the game:
* All players who log in during the event period can receive a free Sanrio Characters clock in-game item by tapping the gift icon.
*Players can redeem Leaf Tickets for one new Sanrio-themed fortune cookie at the Fortune Cookie Shop, with each fortune cookie providing players one of 10 different Sanrio items.
* Players will be able to craft Sanrio gifts to send to their friends, which randomly reward friends with one of several special Sanrio character-themed uchiwa fans. There are a variety of fans to collect featuring fan-favorite Sanrio characters, including Cinnamoroll™, Hello Kitty®, Aggretsuko™ and many more!
Considering New Horizons just received new Sanrio items, we're not surprised to see this crossover returning, and New Leaf also featured Sanrio characters through special amiibo cards. It's left us wondering where they'll pop up next.
Will you be playing the latest Pocket Camp update? Got a favourite Sanrio character? Let us know.

Aggretsuko's inclusion here is surprising to say the least.
It's a 12+ series being promoted in an E for Everyone app.
@RupeeClock Well Smash Bros Ultimate has characters from M Rated games like Bayonetta and Solid Snake in it so perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised.
Something I never understood: In Pocket Camp the campsiders can use many objects (as the carousel or balloons seen in the video), in New Horizon everything besides benches is just decoration...
@vanYth Nintendo is far too lazy to animate animals doing more than just sitting down, pretending to fish, pretending to catch bugs, pretending to eat food etc. Heck, you don't even see them climb onto the carousel or climb the towers in Pocket Camp, they just teleport in place.
New Horizons only just got the original Sanrio set...and it's already out of date
People still play this sorry waste of space?
Hey, something I actually care about! Will these still be available later on in some way or another, or are they gone forever at the end of the event? I've still yet to actually play this game, but I might eventually, so I'd just like to know. Also, will these be available in New Horizons? I don't follow AC.
@RupeeClock : And what of Gudetama's fiiiine budunkadunk?
Woah RETSUKO!? Well that's a surprise but a welcoming one.
Once again pocket camp gets the better content then new horizon fun
