Niantic is celebrating Pokémon Go’s launch anniversary next month with the first official real-world event taking place in Chicago. Pokémon Go will also kick off another in-game event next week leading up to the first day of summer.
The real-world event will be ticketed and Niantic has a countdown timer already in place before tickets go on sale.
Niantic says more real-world events are being planned across Europe and Japan for later this year as well.
As for the latest in-game event, Pokémon Go players will see a new Solstice Event start on Tuesday and run up to the first day of summer one week later. Expect these perks:
Pokémon Go even saw some stage time at Apple’s WWDC 2017 keynote on Monday where it demoed Apple’s new ARKit technology on iOS 11. The enhancement makes for a more realistic experience when using the augmented reality viewer in the game.
Pokémon Go for iOS is available for free on the App Store.
