Niantic

Pokemon GO has unveiled a new Party Play feature that will add four-player co-op to the game. It will go live starting October 17, 2023.

Party Play lets up to four friends (levels 15 and above) team up to complete challenges, unlock bonuses, and interact with each other. They’ll be tasked with completing Party Challenges to earn exclusive rewards like new Eevee avatar shirts. Parties can also obtain a special bonus in raids which can double the damage of their next Charged Attack. After players are done, they’ll be able to view to an Activity Summary showing highlights from their adventure.

Here’s a bunch of additional information:

Pokemon GO five year revenue low

Original (5/3): Pokemon GO seems to be in a bit of a decline, as the game’s revenue is down to its lowest point in five years.

Mobilegamer reports that the title earned $34.7 million in April. It was at $58 million in February and then $42.8 million in April. Pokemon GO’s revenue hasn’t been this low since February 2018, so that’s something Niantic is surely taking notice of.
