Pokémon GO developer Niantic‘s Mathieu de Fayet has confirmed that Legendary Pokémon and player vs player (PvP) features are coming this summer to the immensely-popular mobile game. Here’s what he had to say during a recent interview:
“Because of the huge success, we had to delay some planned news. Now, we are working in announcing new updates for this summer (North hemisphere), like giving more value to the choice of teams, launching Legendary Pokémon and battles between the players. One thing which we learned with “Ingress” is that the game sustains itself if we are capable to create social interactions between the trainers, and we are working on that.”
