It is worth noting that the Android and iOS version of Pokemon Unite is expected to be released after the release of the new update, however the development team may share more news about it in the next few hours.
NationalSoon, players on Android and iOS devices will be joining their friends on the Nintendo Switch to play one of the latest Pokemon games released.
However, Pokemon Unite players will not be able to play for hours of the day because the servers are down for maintenance.
The bad news is that no one will be able to access the basic features of the game during this time, including online play.
On the bright side, this is all done to support the release date of Pokemon Unite Mobile.
Pokemon Unite is set to release on September 22nd and will soon be playable on Android and iOS devices.
This will unlock the game for millions of other players, making matchmaking easy.
This will also allow you to continue your game across multiple platforms, eliminating the need to own a Nintendo Switch.
How long are POKEMON UNITE servers down for?
The Pokemon Company has confirmed that Pokemon Unite maintenance will begin at 2:00 PM PT or 10:00 PM GMT on Tuesday, September 21.
Pokemon Unite servers will be idle for eight hours, which means the game won’t be playable until 8:00 GMT on September 22nd.
A message from The Pokémon Company reads: “Attention trainers! Pokemon Unite will be undergoing maintenance on September 21 from 2:00 PM to 12:00 AM PT.
“During this time, the game will not be playable as we are making changes and preparing for mobile launch. We appreciate your patience and understanding.”
Meanwhile, The Pokemon Company has confirmed that the Pokemon Unite Mobile release date has been set for Wednesday, September 22nd.
On the island of Aeos, players will find the Unite Battle Committee (UBC), which runs a series of Unite Battle tournaments.
In Unite Battles, players form teams of five and compete against each other to see who can score the most points before time runs out.
Bringing traditional PC gameplay to Android, iOS, and the Nintendo Switch isn’t without its challenges, but many fans seem ready to test the new formula.
A message from The Pokemon Company adds: “Pokémon UNITE is released on the Nintendo Switch on July 21, 2021, and trainers will soon have a new way to play with the release of the mobile version on September 22, 2021.
“Pre-registration has already started in the App Store and Google Play Store. If you are not registered yet, there is an additional incentive to do so. If the pre-registration total reaches 2,500,000, participants will receive a Pikachu Unite license. If the pre-registration numbers reach 500,000, they will receive Attendees on Holowear – Festival Style: Pikachu.”
