The staff of Pokémon Unite announced an original live-action short project to mark the game's upcoming fifth anniversary. Further details on the project's story and other information are teased for later. The game is also adding Legendary Pokémon Yveltal, Palkia, Reshiram, and Solgaleo over the next two months as part of anniversary events.
The announcement was made Friday on the game's Japanese website, though the English site's equivalent news post does not mention the live-action project. The staff teased further announcements about the project's story and other details. Pokémon Unite launched on Nintendo Switch in July 2021 and on mobile devices in September 2021, making the fifth anniversary a milestone for the free-to-start team battle game developed by Tencent's TiMi Studio Group in collaboration with The Pokémon Company.
