A multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) has been announced titled Pokémon Unite which is coming to smart devices and Nintendo Switch.
The news came in today’s (June 24) Pokémon Presents showcase from CEO of The Pokémon Company, Tsunekazu Ishihara. The company has partnered with Tencent Games who have worked on titles such as Call Of Duty: Mobile and will bring the new MOBA to life. There is no confirmed release date yet.
Players will engage in 5 vs. 5 battles in real-time combat. Pokémon Unite is a free-to-start game where players will have to cooperate as a team to achieve victory. Pokémon can be caught, levelled-up, fight and evolve.
The presentation also detailed how matches will run with a full gameplay demonstration of a battle. As Pokémon evolve they will learn new moves which can help you in the heat of battle. The objective is to hold multiple control points as possible whilst defending them against the enemy team.
