Pokémon Unite Announces Subscription Service (& Fans Aren't Happy)
Fans of Pokémon Unite have begun voicing their displeasure over the newly announced subscription service coming soon to the game. Since the title's launch players could opt to play for free and unlock items such as cosmetics along the way, or by buying the season pass. Beginning soon though, players will have the option to opt-in to a new subscription-based service for Pokémon Unite, and fans aren't too thrilled about the new model.
Pokémon Unite was first released back in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch and later released for mobile devices. The game is similar to MOBAs such as DOTA and League of Legends, where 2 teams face off to take down the other team's towers in order to win. In Pokémon Unite, two teams of Pokémon team up to take down bots to level up and evolve, and collect points to invest in towers to seize the area. While it's much simpler than other MOBAs, the simplicity of it makes this game easy for fans to dive into. Just like other MOBAs, Pokémon Unite lets players wear different skins for their Pokémon, as well as allowing the option to purchase a season pass for extra unlockables. Now a new method is being introduced, and so far the reception has not been very warm.
