New Info and Release Date for Town
One year ago in Nintendo’s September 2018 Direct they dropped the bombshell announcement of a brand new IP from Game Freak, the renowned developer behind Pokemon.
Since then we’ve seen almost nothing, so it’s time for the game to reappear.
Now to be clear, the focus will undoubtedly be on Pokemon Sword and Shield, as it should be, but we can probably expect an info dump on Town, at the very least.
Since the announcement, Nintendo has maintained that the game is slated for a release in 2019, although the lack of information doesn’t seem encouraging.
At this point, it’d be surprising if the game came out this year, especially with Sword and Shield, but we could see it for some kind of end-of-year December release.
The scope of Town may be a bit smaller than we expect, leading to a release this year. On the other hand, we could also end up seeing a release date for early next year, setting the expectation for the Switch’s year to come.
