The latest pokémon adventure is a real-time, team-based strategy game called Pokémon Unite. The game is being developed by Tencent’s TiMi Studios, the same studio behind massive free-to-play online games like Honor of Kings and Call of Duty: Mobile.
The game looks a lot like MOBAs, particularly League of Legends, with teams of five battling against each other and leveling up over the course of a match while completing objectives. The multi-lane map is even reminiscent of existing team strategy games. It’ll be a free-to-start game on both the Nintendo Switch and mobile, with crossplay for multiplayer.
Today’s news caps off a busy period for the Pokémon franchise. Last week saw the release of the first major expansion for Pokémon Sword and Shield, along with the announcements of New Pokémon Snap for the Switch, Pokémon Café Mix (which is out today), and an AR game to help kids brush their teeth.
Well, League of Legends has been, and remains, a massively popular game - so, I can understand a desire to go after some of that fan base. However, this seems to have been poorly-received all round (by people who don't think it's a good MOBA, don't like MOBAs in general, or just don't like Tencent).
So, does this game have any hope at all?
