Update [Tue 17th May, 2022 17:30 BST] Pokémon Units subscription service is now launched in North America and will cost $ 9.99 per month.
The included goodies are all the same as announced in the Japanese announcement below, but one thing that has become clearer is that you need to subscribe to the platform you are playing on. So if you subscribe to Switch, you only get your benefits on the Switch version of the game. But things like costumes can be shared between versions.
You can learn more about club membership on the Pokémon Unite Support page.
Original article [Wed 27th Apr, 2022 13:30 BST] TiMi Studio has unveiled a new in-game subscription service for Pokémon Unite, the hugely popular MOBA that recently exceeded 70 million downloads. Called the ‘Pokémon Unite Membership’, this scheme will provide players with monthly rewards for signing up for the service.
Don’t worry, Pokémon Unite will remain free to play, and the rewards so far are mostly cosmetics and costumes, though some extra currency will also be awarded.
Serebii has translated what the monthly subscription service will provide, along with one or two sign-up bonuses for the service that we have listed below (thanks, Serebii!):
- A special Holowear of the month
- Two free license samples
- Two Holoware Licensed Trials per week
- Brand new chat balloons
- 10% discount on Trainer Fashion
- 40 free gems every day
As a reward for signing up, you also get a fashion set designed around the mythical Pokémon Hoopa, which is pretty pink and pretty adorable.
Pokémon Unite membership will cost 1150 Yen a month, equivalent to $ 8.99 or £ 7.15, although official prices outside of Japan have not yet been revealed. We also do not know when the service will launch, but we will notify you as soon as it happens.
