Nintendo Switch game ‘Pokémon Unite’ arrives on iOS and iPadOS on September 22

The battle arena game “Pokémon Unite”, which until now was only available on Nintendo Switch, is expected to arrive on iOS, iPadOS and Android on September 22, Nintendo announced today.

Pokémon Unite is a free to play online multiplayer game that first launched for Nintendo Switch on July 21. In the game, players compete against each other in five-a-side battles. During battles, players must cooperate with their teammates to catch wild Pokémon, level up and evolve their own Pokémon, and strategically defeat their opponents. To win the match, players must earn more points than the opposing team within the time limit.

Cross-platform play will be available on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, allowing players to link their accounts on both versions of the game to sync their progress, saved data, and characters.

Pre-registration and registration to receive notification when the game is available for download is now available on the App Store and Google Play Store. Nintendo has stated that if pre-registration for the mobile version of the game reaches 2.5 million, players will receive a “Pikachu Unite” license or “Aeos Coins”. If the number of pre-registrations reaches five million, players will receive a “Holowear — Festival Style: Pikachu”.
