Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a> will hold a very special 10th anniversary broadcast this Thursday, July 9 \u2014 with details on what it will contain currently top secret.<\/p>\n

It’s now been a decade since Pok\u00e9mon Go first launched and became a global phenomenon. Remember that first trailer where players were shown catching, trading and then battling a giant Mewtwo in Times Square? Well, 10 years on, millions of players still log on every day: catching, trading and battling with the app’s ever-expanding menagerie that now stretches to almost 1,000 creatures.<\/p>\n

Exactly what the next decade has in store for Pok\u00e9mon Go remains to be seen \u2014 but perhaps this unique broadcast may offer some answers.<\/p>\n

“Trainers from around the world including those who were among the first to experience the game in 2016, long-time players who have been catching Pok\u00e9mon for the past decade and those who are just beginning their adventure, are invited to tune in and celebrate together,” developer Niantic teased of its mysterious stream \u2014 the first of its kind for the game.<\/p>\n

“Additional details on where to watch and when to tune in will be shared via Pok\u00e9mon Go social channels on July 9. Throughout the day, several notable content creators will also be going live to join in on the festivities.”<\/p>\n

It’s an interesting time for Pok\u00e9mon Go, which will wrap up its big annual summer event season this weekend already with Go Fest Global. But the summer is still early \u2014 perhaps we’ll hear about more surprises coming in the near future? <\/p>\n

It’s also an interesting time for the Pok\u00e9mon franchise as a whole, which also celebrates a big anniversary this year. While the series is 30 years old, though, it doesn’t have a new console game before Christmas with which to celebrate \u2014 remember, of course, that Pok\u00e9mon Winds and Pok\u00e9mon Waves will launch sometime in 2027. Perhaps Pok\u00e9mon Go could be used as a focus for fans once more?<\/p>\n

All may be revealed later this week \u2014 tune in right here on IGN for live coverage as everything unfolds.<\/p>\n
