As if the recent presentation of New Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Café Mix and Pokémon Smile was not enough, we now learn that the company has just announced Pokémon Unite on iOS, Android and Switch.
This is a new title that will build on a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) experience. In other words, Pokémon Unit will stage arenas in which teams of players can compete.
Strategic battles in 5 vs 5
Concretely, the new Pokémon game will invite two teams of five players each to engage in a battle aimed at achieving specific objectives. In fact, the founder of The Pokémon Company, Tsunekazu Ishihara, revealed that the initial concept was to “Create a cooperative Pokémon game accessible to all, but also with complex gameplay”. So we can expect an unprecedented experience.
Speaking of the MOBA aspect of Pokémon Unite, be aware that players will compete in a symmetrical arena with three lanes.
The fight will obviously take place in real time and cross-play is one of the main assets of the title. Android, iOS and Switch players will be able to play together.
