It's been a big summer for Nintendo and Tencent's popular online MOBA, Pokemon Unite. This month, Pokemon Unite has been celebrating its first anniversary, lining up a ton of events for players and offering sizable rewards for those taking part. In addition to a Pikachu only mode, players have been able to unlock all sorts of items and cosmetics by logging in and playing in matches. Three new Pokemon arrived throughout August as well including Glaceon, Buzzwole, and Tyrannitar.
However, Pokemon Unite has been teasing even more content coming as the first anniversary celebration continues into September. After numerous teases, a new trailer has finally laid out the game's plans throughout the month of September, giving fans new reasons to continue logging in each day. The second wave of content kicks off next week on September 2 and brings three new Pokemon, a brand new map, a unique PvE game mode, and plenty of unlockable content to earn or purchase.

The biggest draw for many in a game like Pokemon Unite is the playable roster. After adding 3 Pokemon in August, the game is getting three additional Pokemon throughout September starting with the mythical Mew on September 2.

Later in the month, Dodrio arrives on September 14 followed by Scizor on September 28.
In addition to those three, Pokemon Unite is adding the Theia Sky Ruins map, which was recently revealed at the Pokemon World Championships. It's a two lane map that features a lot of legendary Pokemon like Rayquaza, Regirock, Regice, Regieleci, and more.
