Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp (どうぶつの森 ポケットキャンプ) for mobile will be released in late November 2017. The news was announced in a Nintendo’s Animal Crossing livestream today.
Animal Crossing is a “slow life” simulation video game franchise that has been made for Nintendo consoles since 2001. This is the first mobile entry of the series. In Pocket Camp, players will be a manager of a camping site. The manager can be customised as a girl or boy in different styles. His/her job is to place objects like furniture and collect material to keep the site functional and lively.

▍Crafting
Many items in Pocket Camp, such as furnitures, require crafting. The necessary materials can be acquired either from collecting or helping others.
An animal may reward players with useful stuff after they help him.
Players can also go on an adventure to get the stuff they need, ex. catching a butterfly on Sunburst Island.
If collecting materials is too fussy, leaf tickets are what players need. These tickets can replace some materials needed for crafting. They are acquired throughout the gameplay for free and through purchase with real money.
▍Furniture
Furniture pieces are important to increasing the friendship level with animals!
Once players have collected sufficient materials, they can order the previously unaccessible furniture pieces from a guy called Cyrus. It takes some time for the crafting to be done, and customisation is not available.
The furniture can be placed anywhere in the room.
Some animals will pay players a visit if players have the furniture they like. They will keep coming as long as the furniture are there.
Building large amenities also work.
▍Camping cars
Each player has a camping car that is customisable.
For the exterior, players will need to ask OK Motors for help.
With this camping car, players can go wherever they want around the map.
▍Friends
Players will bump into each other around the campsite. Once they meet, they can exchange materials, add each other on their friend lists, or visit their campsites.
