The Pokemon Company announced on Twitter that its latest game Pokemon Unite will be released on Nintendo Switch on July 21.
The Pokemon-themed MOBA game also intends to have a mobile version which is scheduled to be available in September this year.
It was also confirmed that players can get mythical pokemon Zeraora by logging into the game before August 31.
The game is also confirmed to have a cross-platform play between mobile devices and Nintendo switch which is being jointly developed by TiMi Studios and the Pokemon Company.
In addition, players can log in using their own Nintendo accounts, which can allow them to play their own data game on any device.
Unlike its past games, the Pokemon Unite is not a role-playing game as it closely resembles games like Dota and League of Legends. Rather than playing as a trainer, users will get to take direct control of their pokemons to fight against opponents on the battlefield.
In this game, players face each other off in 5-on-5 team battles. During the battle, they will cooperate with teammates to catch wild pokemons, level up, and evolve their own pokemon while defeating their opponent’s pokemons, while trying to earn more points than the opposing team within the allotted time.
