Community simulation game "Animal Crossing" is coming to mobile devices via "Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp." The game is currently in soft launch in Australia and will be arriving to the rest of the world sometime in November.

The trailer for the game was uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 24. Running a minute long, the trailer gives players a hint of what's to come and features a handful of villagers that players will meet in the game as well as some of the activities the player can engage in and a glimpse of the places in the world of "Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

The first 13 minutes of gameplay is also available on IGN's YouTube channel. Players will get the chance to customize their characters before they move into the world of "Animal Crossing."

Aside from that, one of the first things they'll be able to do is head to the campsite and customize the place's aesthetics to fit their sense of style. In the gameplay video, the player was given the choice between natural, cool, cute and sporty. The video also previews item placement, camp decorating and quests that feature the player gathering things in order to aid and befriend the other characters in the game.

Players will be able to craft materials and requests, focus on friendships, purchase items with leaf tickets, hunt down items and materials for crafting, explore the areas on the map, go fishing, customize their camper, go shopping, visit friends who also own the game, and much more.

It's an entire "Animal Crossing" world on mobile that's ready to explore.

The "Animal Crossing" Mobile Direct and more information regarding the characters and the game can be found on the official website.

"Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp" will be coming to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
