Niantic revealed exciting news for Brazilian Pokémon Go players at gamescom latam 2024. A major São Paulo event is slated for December, promising a city-wide takeover. Details remain scarce, but the anticipation is high. Beyond the December event, Niantic highlighted several key improvements for the Brazilian Pokémon Go experience.
Collaborating with São Paulo's Civil House and shopping centers, Niantic aims to deliver a fun and safe gameplay experience. Furthermore, a nationwide expansion of PokéStops and Gyms is underway, facilitated by partnerships with Brazilian city governments. This initiative ensures broader accessibility and enjoyment of the game.
The success of Pokémon Go in Brazil is undeniable, particularly following a price reduction on in-game items which led to a significant revenue boost. This success is further evidenced by the creation of a locally produced video celebrating the game's impact.
The panel, hosted by Alan Madujano (Head of LATAM Operations), Eric Araki (Brazil Country Manager), and Leonardo Willie (Emerging Markets Community Manager), underscored Pokémon Go's immense popularity in Brazil and Niantic's commitment to enhancing the player experience. The game remains free-to-play with in-app purchases, available on the App Store and Google Play.
