Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at YCP chapter.

At long last, one of the most lovable, light-hearted Nintendo series is getting its own mobile game. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is a free-to-play app that includes many of the game’s original features, such as fishing, foraging, and decorating your home. However, instead of playing as the mayor of a town, you’re running your very own campsite. 

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has over 15 different characters to interact with. By talking to others and completing their quests, you earn rewards that allow you to craft tons of cool furniture for the site. And the more unique furniture you craft, the more animals will stop by to visit. 

You can also visit and be visited by other players. If they accept your friend request, you can go to their campsite at any time and even buy items from them using in-game currency, which can be easily obtained through the selling of fruit, bugs, or fish. In addition, you can also use  money to buy clothing and accessories for your avatar. 

All in all, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is meant to provide a warm, welcoming, and personalized experience for each player. The app will be available in November on both iOS and Android devices.
