During the gamescom latam 2024 panel, Niantic unveiled exciting news for Pokemon Go enthusiasts in Brazil. A major event is set to take place in Sao Paulo this December, promising an immersive experience that will captivate the entire city. While specific details remain under wraps, the anticipation is building as Niantic teases what's to come. For those not thrilled about Pikachu's takeover, you might want to plan a getaway!
The event isn't the only thing Niantic has planned. In collaboration with the Civil House of the City of Sao Paulo and various shopping centers, they're committed to delivering a fun and safe experience for everyone involved.
Alan Madujano, Head of Operations in LATAM, Eric Araki, Country Manager for Brazil, and Leonardo Willie, Community Manager for Emerging Markets, shared insights into Pokemon Go's thriving presence in the region. The game's popularity in Brazil has surged, particularly following Niantic's decision to lower in-game item prices, which surprisingly led to a revenue boost.
To enhance the gameplay experience further, Niantic is working closely with city governments across Brazil to introduce more PokeStops and Gyms. This initiative aims to ensure that players nationwide can enjoy Pokemon Go to the fullest.
Highlighting Brazil's significance to Niantic, a locally produced video about Pokemon Go has also been created, underscoring the game's impact on the local community.
