Pokemon Go Fest is back for its 2021 edition and is scheduled for July 17 and July 18. Like last year's event, this year's fest will also be held virtually, instead of a physical event owing to the ongoing pandemic. Pokemon Go developer Niantic describes the fest as a Global event. Niantic also announced that “2021 marks both the twenty-fifth anniversary of Pokémon and the fifth anniversary of Pokémon Go.” Last year's Pokemon Go Fest marked the launch of Global Challenge Arena. So far, the company has remained tight-lipped on the specific events planned for this year's fest.

Niantic said that this year's event will return as a “two-day global event from July 17 to July 18, 2021.” According to the post, last year's event saw players across the globe working together to complete various challenges, unlock rewards, and defeat Team GO Rocket.

Time to mark your calendars, Trainers! ????️

Earlier this year, Pokemon Go spotted hiring in India that may hint at the possibility of increasing its presence in the country.

Recently, Pokemon Go developer Niantic AR glasses. The reveal only showed a part of the AR glasses and not how they will function. The image only shows the temples of the glasses along with a strap that features the Niantic logo in orange colour. The temples seem thick and appear to house a tiny speaker grille. There has been no confirmation regarding the launch of the AR glasses as of yet.
