Pokémon Unite Ships This July For Nintendo Switch & September For Mobile, Featuring Cross-play & Cross-save

This week, the original forecast for Nintendo-oriented announcements already took place during the Nintendo E3 Direct previously this past Tuesday. However, more related projects were also elaborated upon elsewhere from The Pokémon Company. In that, the subsidiary offered a new update on the previously announced Pokémon Unite.

For those unfamiliar, the new title is an upcoming Pokémon title, but structured similar to a MOBA – say the likes of Smite or DOTA 2. Instead, players will use Pokémon with their own unique abilities and characteristics to remain victorious to its opponents. While paved for Nintendo Switch and mobile systems, there was no provided release date for the game initially.

On Thursday, The Pokémon Company revealed that Pokémon Unite is to ship later in September. You can watch the new reveal trailer in the video below:

“Well, Pokémon’s first strategic team battle game, Pokémon Unite, is arriving soon! The Nintendo Switch version is scheduled to come out first, this July. The mobile version is scheduled to be available for download starting in September. Cross-platform play between Nintendo Switch and mobile devices is planned, which will allow players to battle together and against one another.”

The Pokémon Company adds, “Additionally, if you log in using your Nintendo Account or Pokémon Trainer Club account, you’ll be able to use your game data on any device. With this feature, you’ll be able to enjoy playing at home on your TV screen using the Nintendo Switch version, as well as easily play on the go using the mobile version.”

Following the release for Pokémon Unite, both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Pokémon Shining Pearl is to ship for Nintendo Switch later in November. You can read the full report by heading here.
