The Pokemon Company has announced end of service plans for Pokemon Unite. The MOBA, which launched in 2021, will be shuttered and its servers taken offline in 2027, rendering the game entirely unplayable outside of a library feature that players will be able to use to look back on their records.
The Pokemon Company published an update this morning announcing the news that, on March 23, 2027, support for Pokemon Unite will come to an end. That applies to both the mobile and the Switch version of the multiplayer-only game. The game will remain playable, functional, and supported until that date.
As with any game that goes through this process, there will be stages to Unite's shut down. The first stage is removing the ability to buy its in-game currency, Aeos Gems. That has happened effective immediately, as selling currency for game that is closing down wouldn't be a good look.
