Pokemon Unite

Pokemon Unite, a strategic battle game, was announced for Switch and mobile earlier this year. A new batch of details and screenshots recently surfaced as part of the second wave of the internal test. Although it was meant to be private, some players have shared their experience online.

Here’s the full roundup, courtesy of Nihilego_Khu:

Pokemon Unite, the recent free-to-start strategic Pokemon team battle game announced by The Pokemon Company, Tencent, and Timi Studios, has received a new batch of screenshots. The images were apparently leaked on Chinese social media.

The screenshots show a few new things. We’re able to get a look at more Pokemon in the game (including the confirmation of Gen 8 Pokemon) and a trainer customization system. It seems there are plans for limited season costumes that can be earned when you receive a ranking in the seasonal battle league.

Here’s the full set of screenshots:

Tencent has teamed up with Nintendo to distribute the Switch in China. There’s no specific release date yet, but it will finally be happening sooner rather than later.

Tencent seems to have some big goals aside from being Switch’s Chinese partner. Speaking with The Wall Street Journal, one official claimed that the company is interested in making console games featuring Nintendo characters.
