Pokémon Unite phone game is launching on iOS and Android on September 22, bringing MOBA combat to the Pokemon world.
The Pokémon Unite release date has been revealed: the free-to-play mobile battle arena (MOBA) set in Nintendo’s world of battling monsters is coming to smartphones on Wednesday, September 22. Pokémon Unite launched on the Nintendo Switch in July, and the September release window for mobile was announced a while ago via the official Pokémon Unite Twitter account, but we didn’t have a date until now. The game will be coming to both iOS and Android on September 22. As the tweet notes, eager players can pre-register on the iOS App Store and Android Play Store to get some exclusive extras – and given how intense the microtransactions are in the game, any head-start is helpful. If there are enough pre-registrations, players will get to play as Pikachu and get a bonus costume (called Holowear) for free, per an official blog post. The game will offer cross-play between Nintendo Switch and mobile players, and linking your Nintendo account between the console and smartphone versions will allow for cross-progression to carry over unlocked Pokémon, cosmetics, items, and currencies.
