If you’ve been following the development of Pokemon Go much like many other fanatics of the franchise out there, you’d probably be well informed of the current beta testing for the app, that has been taking place in Japan throughout the past few weeks. Many gamer’s have been anxiously waiting to finally give the game a test-run, and those in the US will not have to wait much longer.
Nintendo has revealed that before the end of May, US trainers will finally be able to try out the mobile game before it’s official launch scheduled for sometime later this year. The official statement read the following:
“Pokémon GO is a real world game that will launch on iOS and Android devices in 2016. This game is being produced by Niantic, Inc. in collaboration with The Pokémon Company, and combines mobile location technology and augmented reality to create a unique game experience that motivates players to go outside, explore, and catch wild Pokémon in the world around them. Because the game involves numerous people playing in multiple countries at the same time, we have a lot to test before we publicly launch.”
Signups for the software have now gone live, and the signups process is quite simple! Simply head on over to Nianticlabs official page for the game located here and fill in the requested information. For those of you who may be a bit confused about the “Ingress” information. “Ingress” is another title developed by Niantclabs, odds are you haven’t played it, so feel free to completely wing that section.
The Pokemon hype train seems to be long-lasting this year, with both Pokemon GO, and Pokemon Sun & Moon holding up the franchise higher than ever before. It wouldn’t surprise me if Nintendo even had some addition Pokemon news left in store for us later down the road.
