Pokémon Unite Confirms Espeon's Release Date With Character Reveal
The next pocket monster joining the Pokémon Unite roster is Espeon, the Psychic-type evolution of Eevee. TiMi Studio Group's free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena lets players control an ever-expanding lineup of Pokémon. Recently Pokémon Unite leaks revealed Espeon as a playable character, and now TiMi Studio Group has confirmed the Sun Pokémon will soon arrive in all its psychic glory.
Pokémon Unite launched with a number of iconic creatures, like Pikachu, Charizard and Gengar, as playable characters for use in its competitive point-based matches. After players choose their Pokémon, the MOBA groups them into two teams of five and tasks them with scoring more points than their rivals. In Pokémon Unite points are earned by defeating wild Pokémon, beating rival players or scoring at goals scattered across the map. Through free post-launch updates TiMi Studio Group has expanded Pokémon Unite's roster with new pocket monsters like Azumarill and Sylveon. Recently a Pokémon Unite datamine leak appeared to reveal upcoming features like a «Pokémon-Catching Mode» and a playable Espeon.
