This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Even back in 2023, Niantic already had its eyes set on Pokémon Go’s 10th anniversary. Plans are now in the works, and according to Pokémon Go CEO Michael Steranka, fans can expect something incredible. Speaking at Pokémon Go Fest Madrid on June 14, Steranka said that the 10th anniversary is “something that has been on my personal agenda for a long time,” and while he “can’t give details about what it is, we’re talking about it,” he did want to let us know that it’s looking pretty awesome.
“We really want to maximize that moment and celebrate a decade of this amazing game, this amazing community, and really introduce new things that are going to, you know, shock and awe,” Steranka told Dot Esports, “and bring people back to the game. You know, there are literally hundreds of millions of players who have played Pokemon Go over the years.”
Steranka seems determined to bring back players who have fallen out of favor with the game for whatever reason. He says that "so much has changed in the game and so much has improved over time" and that "it's only going to get better."
