While the main "Animal Crossing" game lets players manage their own village by helping villagers harvest fruit, create structures and more, "Pocket Camp" will only focus on a single campsite. Gamers still have to do the usual tasks of gathering fruit and wood for the campsite.
If resources are on hand, players should be able to create furniture and other decorative items. This can be done by sending out a request to the classic "Animal Crossing" character Cyrus. Once completed, gamers should be able to move the items around the campsite or within the camper.
The camper will also serve as a means of transport. It will take players to other locations in the game such as a beach, a forest, a river and more.
Much like the original game, Bells are the currency in "Pocket Camp," which can be earned by completing tasks. Players can use then use their Bells to purchase furniture, clothing, and more.
In-app purchases are made through the Market Place, which will be run by familiar faces like Timmy, Tommy, and the Able Sisters.
"Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp" will be available sometime in late Nov. on iOS and Android devices.
