Pokemon Go is back on the move and headed to the city of lights. Niantic, the creator of Pokemon Go, has revealed that Pokemon Go Fest is coming to Paris, France, inviting trainers from around the globe to join in on the festivities.
According to the official Pokemon Go website, Pokemon Go Fest: Paris will take place in the heart of Paris and the Parc de Sceaux from June 13-15. Early bird tickets are available starting today, March 6, before prices rise to full price on April 2. This event will mark the debut of Volcanion in Pokemon Go, and every participant with a ticket will gain access to special insights about the creature and have a chance to encounter it.
Participants will also have the first chance to see the new forms of Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta during 5 Star Raids. Similar to previous Pokemon Go Fest events, Niantic will provide a specially curated route that allows players to enjoy some of Paris’ famous landmarks while searching for elusive Pokemon. The Parc de Sceaux will feature real-life Pokemon habitats where players can meet Pokemon mascots and trainers, compete in head-to-head matches in the PVP battle arena, and shop for exclusive merchandise.
“The allure of Paris, its walkability, and its world-renowned landmarks create an ideal setting for Pokémon GO Fest,” stated Pokemon Go Live Events Marketing Manager Lena Cillis in a statement. “We’re excited to see Trainers explore this stunning city and the beautiful Parc de Sceaux alongside France’s enthusiastic community and attendees from all over the world.”
Before this event, Pokemon Go Fest will visit Osaka, Japan from May 29 to June 1, and Jersey City, New Jersey from June 6 to 8. After Pokemon Go Fest: Paris, Niantic will host a Pokemon Go Fest Global event from June 28-29.
If you’re looking for something to do sooner, Niantic has already announced the Pokemon Go events for March. Besides Pokemon Go, The Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara recently warned that the franchise may decline if the company ever loses its focus.
