The COVID-19 epidemic – more commonly known as the coronavirus outbreak – has already had a major impact on the game industry. Some games have been delayed, the Stoch switch is on a scale in some places around the world, and recently caused the cancellation of E3 2020.
Now, to add to this, Niantic will be making some temporary changes to its popular mobile game Pokémon GO, which requires players to step out and interact with others on the points available.
While we have made these updates based on the global health situation, we are also encouraging players to make decisions about where to go and what to do that is best for their health and the health of their communities.
To ensure that its player stays in good standing, Niantic prioritizes updates to "GO features and experiences" that can be enjoyed in individual settings. Extended Habitats, incense packs (increasing the spoons) now last for one hour and reduced by 99%, and trainers can hide eggs twice as fast. PokéStops will throw in gifts again and again and all this change will continue until "more information".
Niantic has even reached the point of postponing & # 39; its Abra Community Day & # 39; and other real-world events involving large gatherings. Fortunately, the game Special Research event Genetic including can still be completed individually.
