Pokemon GO’s 10-Year Anniversary Summer Is Starting To Take Shape

[ed]

Pokemon GO is entering one of the biggest moments in its history with the launch of the new Forever Forward season on June 2.

The game officially turns 10 years old this July — a milestone very few mobile games have ever reached while maintaining a global active player base.

Over the next few months, players can expect:
• GO Fest Global 2026 on July 11–12
• Mega Mewtwo’s long-awaited debut
• New Community Days
• Anniversary-themed rewards
• Limited quests and costume Pokemon

Niantic has already started the rollout through in-person GO Fest events in Tokyo, with Chicago and Copenhagen next in line before the worldwide celebration begins.

For many longtime trainers, this summer could become one of Pokemon GO’s most content-packed anniversary events ever.
