The Pokémon Company and Tencent recently revealed Pokémon Unite as the newest title using the popular license.
A free-to-play MOBA focusing on 5v5 battles with various Pokémon like Charizard, Blastoise and Snorlax as playable characters, Pokémon Unite’s September release date has been revealed. But will it launch on PC?
Initial signs point towards the answer being “no”. The Pokémon Unite announcement trailer only brings up Nintendo Switch and mobile as platforms targeted by the upcoming MOBA.
Pokemon Unite planned PC Release?
Pokémon Unite launching on PC would also see it competing with behemoths like League of Legends and DOTA 2, that several other MOBA games failed to dethrone.
That being said, Pokémon Unite would have a strong brand behind it. Perhaps we’ll someday get to see how a Pokémon MOBA would fare on PC, and hopefully, it launches on Steam too.
While Pokémon games generally continue to avoid the PC, Temtem provides a similar experience and may prove enough to sate your thirst for collecting creatures.
We’ll be keeping a close watch to see if Pokémon Unite does make its way over to the PC, but at the moment, unfortunately, we think it’s unlikely.
