Pokémon GO is getting a major summer update with redesigned gyms, cooperative gameplay and more neat treats bound to make the game more exciting.
When Pokémon GO first made its debut nearly a year ago, it stirred a worldwide frenzy and quickly turned into a social phenomenon, topping app charts and becoming the most successful mobile game of all times. The game lost some steam in the meantime, but Niantic now has a huge update in store to keep users engaged and to enhance the overall experience.
Pokémon GO got a number of changes over the past year, including new pocket monsters and various events available for a limited time, but this upcoming update will bring two highly requested features: multiplayer fun and new gyms.
Pokémon GO Cooperative Gameplay With Multiplayer Raid Battles
Raid battles in Pokémon GO will take place at the redesigned gyms and will allow up to 20 players to work together to take on powerful and rare Pokémon bosses that appear randomly. When such a boss is about to show up, an egg icon and a countdown timer will appear atop the gym, along with four boss icons to indicate how difficult it will be to defeat the respective creature. Once the timer drops to zero, it's game on: the Pokémon boss shows up and players have a limited time to defeat it.
