Farewell update November 12

On November 12, 2026, the game will receive an update with a special event.It will offer various items, including Pokémon Unite licenses and Holowear costumes that have been released over the years.Along with the event, a “library” mode will be added: it contains some recordings and in-game content.

To use the library after closing, you need to download its data before March 23, 2027.If this is not done, the function will not be available.Library data generally cannot be transferred to another device, and support for this mode will cease after servers are shut down.

The Aeos Crown tournament will still go ahead

The organizers are not canceling the Pokémon UNITE Aeos Crown 2027 competitive tournament in Tokyo.Qualifying matches will start on December 5, 2026.Details of the tournament are published separately on the official website.

Once the service is closed, the rules for using videos and images from the game will also cease to apply, and support for these issues will cease.Those who need Pokémon Unite for videos or streams should record materials in advance.

The remaining projects in the series continue to develop: for example, we recently talked about underwater area in Pokémon Pokopia.
