Pokémon Go 10 Year Anniversary Celebration Livestream — Updating Live
Pokémon Go is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a major livestream event featuring announcements and surprises from its developer, Niantic—which this week rebranded to Scopely Explore. While the developer has kept most details confidential, eagle-eyed fans have spotted several clues hinting at what’s to come.
Community Ambassadors in New York received mysterious event invitations, and commemorative 10th Anniversary artwork has been released prominently featuring Mewtwo in Times Square. This Times Square takeover appears to be a nostalgic recreation of the game’s iconic 2016 launch trailer, which famously showed hundreds of players gathering to battle the legendary Pokémon.
The livestream marks a significant milestone for the mobile augmented reality game that revolutionized location-based gaming upon its launch a decade ago. The combination of the Times Square activation and the livestream broadcast suggests Pokémon Go is planning a major celebration of the milestone with both digital and in-person community engagement.
