We haven’t heard much about Pokémon Unite since it was first announced for Switch and mobile last June, but The Pokémon Company has now shared a quick development update.
As you might expect, progress has been made since last summer’s reveal, although there is still work to be done. “More playable Pokémon have been added, gameplay changes and additions have been made, visuals have been improved, and much more,” says The Pokémon Company. “That said, there is still a lot to be done to ensure the best possible experience.”
To achieve that goal, the development team is asking fans to participate in a regional beta test. Limited to Canada only, this test will take place in March and will provide players with the first opportunity to get started with the game hands-on, although the beta test will be limited to Android devices.
If you want to participate, you can register on the Pokémon Unite Google Play Store page. Make sure you meet the requirements below.
Eligibility Details:
– The Pokémon UNITE Regional Beta Test is only open to residents of Canada.
– Players must be at least 16 years old to participate.
– In-game progress will be reset once the beta is complete.
– No recording or streaming of gameplay is allowed during the regional beta test.
Before today, the last we’d heard about the title consisted of some screenshots posted in August, and a leak earlier this year that suggested you could dress up your Pokémon in quirky outfits.
