Update: Maintenance has now ended. In North America, players will need to download an updated patch to play online. This should presumably fix issues with online worldwide play.

Pokken Tournament is affected by emergency maintenance at the moment. The game’s network services went down a few hours ago, and have not returned since. We’ll update this post when everything is back up and running.

Pokken Tournament version 1.2 is currently making it impossible for those in North America to play with others outside of the region. These users are not getting matched is because Shadow Mewtwo’s light pillar in field phase operates differently compared to the rest of the world. Since there are two versions of Shadow Mewtwo, the North American servers are unable to handle the conflicting data.

We’ll keep tabs on the situation. If the situation is fixed, we’ll be sure to let you know.
