During the latest Pokemon Presents, we learned more about a number of titles in the Pokemon universe. This included an update on the recently released MOBA, Pokemon Unite. Pokemon Unite has already launched on Switch, and we now know when it will release for mobile devices. Pokemon Unite launches on iOS and Android on September 22, 2021.

Pokemon Unite’s iOS and Android release date was shared during the August Pokemon Presents event. The game first launched on Switch back on July 21, and has received several balance updates and bug fixes in the times since. Pokemon Unite has also received post-launch characters since it was first released. All of the content present in the Switch version will be in the mobile release as well.

The Pokemon Company also confirmed that Pokemon Unite will be crossplay between Switch and mobile devices. In a new trailer, we get a look at the user interface as a match of Unite is played out on a smartphone. Those that are looking forward to playing Unite on mobile can pre-register now. If 2.5 million players pre-register, everybody will receive the Pikachu license for free. If the game hits 5 million pre-registrations, players will receive a special Festival Style holowear for Pikachu.

Pokemon Unite will arrive on mobile devices on September 22, 2021. Android and iOS users can pre-register for the game now and aid the player base in receiving some bonus rewards. For more of the news we got out of the Pokemon Presents showcase, we’ve got you covered here on Shacknews.
