Pokemon GO’s launch in France was delayed due to attack in Nice, may release this week
A whole bunch of European countries received Pokemon GO on Friday. There was one notable region left out, however: France.
In a statement provided to IGN, The Pokemon Company confirmed that Pokemon GO’s launch in France was delayed due to the horrible attack that took place in Nice last week. The full note reads:
“As a sign of respect for the French people in this time of national mourning, the release of Pokémon GO is postponed. Our thoughts and prayers are with France and the victims affected by this terrible attack.”
Pokemon GO does not have a set date in France. However, IGN reports that it may be available later this week after an official period of national mourning ends.
