Announced Pokemon Unite, MOBA game with Pokemon for Mobile and Switch

Pokemon Unite is a new great Pokemon game, but it's not some kind of single-player title. This is MOBA. For Cell Phones and Switch.



Nintendo has just announced a new Pokemon game - Pokemon Unite.

It is a kind of MOBA game with Pokemon in the lead roles. They say their goal was to create a cooperative game with a multitude of depths that can be played over and over again.

In Pokemon Unite multiplayer matches, two sides will go to war with five Pokemon in a team - one side will be on the left of the map, the other on the right. Tactics will be important because in the middle of the match, Pokemon will be able to level and evolve, which will give them powerful new attacks that they can decide in the match. Each Pokemon will also have one special ‘Unite’ attack with special effects.

You can watch the entire presentation of the game, which also shows gameplay, below.



The time for each match will be limited, and the goal will be to keep as many control points as possible under the control of your team, ie to hunt wild Pokemon and thus collect points. Whoever collects more points wins.

Pokemon Unite comes on mobile platforms and the Nintendo Switch, and will also support cross-platform gaming. The release date has not been specified yet, and the game should be available for free.

The mobile game is released by Chinese gaming giant Tencent while being developed by the experienced TiMi studio, also controlled by Tencent. TiMi is credited with some of the biggest mobile hits like Honor of Kings, Arena of Valor and Call of Duty: Mobile.
