Gamescom 2024: Pokémon Company to Headline, with Potential for Major Reveals
Gamescom's August lineup includes a major announcement: The Pokémon Company will be a key highlight of the event. This news has generated significant buzz, especially considering Nintendo's absence this year. The event, running from August 21st to 25th in Cologne, Germany, promises excitement for Pokémon fans worldwide.
Speculation Mounts: Pokémon Legends Z-A and More
While The Pokémon Company remains tight-lipped about specifics, speculation is rife. The highly anticipated Pokémon Legends Z-A, revealed on Pokémon Day, is a prime candidate for updates. The game, slated for a 2025 release, has already captivated audiences with its glimpse of Lumiose City. Gamescom could offer a deeper look.
Beyond Pokémon Legends Z-A, several other possibilities excite fans:
- Pokémon TCG Mobile App: The long-awaited mobile app could finally receive an update or release date.
- Pokémon Black and White Remake: A remake of this popular generation would be a welcome addition to the franchise.
- Gen 10 Mainline Game: An announcement regarding the next mainline game would be a monumental event for the Pokémon series.
- New Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Game: Following the 2020 release of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, a new entry in this beloved spin-off series is a strong possibility.
Immersive Experience at the Pokémon Play Lab
Gamescom 2024 will also feature the Pokémon Play Lab, an interactive exhibit. Fans can experience the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), explore Pokémon Scarlet and Violet updates, and engage with Pokémon Unite. This hands-on experience caters to both veteran and new players.
