Details of this year’s Pokémon Go Fest have been announced, with confirmation that the annual summer event will be free for global players this year.
Pokémon Go Fest Global will take place across July 11 and July 12, and celebrate the hit smartphone game’s 10th anniversary by not requiring players purchase a paid ticket this year. Instead, access to the event’s Special Research and boosted Shiny rate will be offered without charge.
This year’s Go Fest will see the long-awaited launch of Mega Mewtwo (in both its X and Y versions) something that the game has been teasing for a very long time. Its arrival this summer will come as no surprise to fans following Pokémon Go’s big Mega Pokémon revamp earlier this year, and a sense that the game’s 10th anniversary would be a fitting milestone for the ultra-powerful creature to finally arrive.
