Will the announcement of Pokémon Unite end other MOBA games like League of Legends, Dota 2, Arena of Valor, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Wild Rift? Dota 2 host and content creator Jake “SirActionSlacks” Kanner might just be right.
While others are delighted at the news, G2 Esports’ founder Carlos “ocelote” Rodríguez Santiago is not a fan.
Meanwhile, esports commentator Erik “DoA” Lonnquist is willing to give it a chance once it comes out on the Nintendo Switch.
Aside from the Switch, Pokémon Unite will also be playable on Android and iOS devices. Its official release date hasn’t been announced yet, but the developers are planning to reveal more information about the game in the future.
