Don’t get ready to rumble
Mobile titlePokémon Rumble Rushwill shut its servers this summer, a little over a year after the free-to-play title’s 2019 inception. The game will officially shut down on the morning of July 22.
Launching in May last year,Pokémon Rumble Rushis the fifth title in thePokémon Rumbleseries, and the first for mobile platforms, following previous releases on Nintendo’s Wii, Wii U, and 3DS consoles.Rumble Rushfeatures typical Pokémon catching/battling action, with upgrades allowing for trainers to affix special boosts and effects to their favourite critters. You can check out the original trailer below.
Until July 22,Pokémon Rumble Rushcan be played as per usual. Surprisingly, it even has anew update scheduled for May 27, adding even more Pokémon to the mix. So if you are playingRumble Rush,you can at least take heart in knowing the game will go out with a bang, if a small-scale one. Perhaps you can then fill the void with Niantic’sPokémon GOor Nintendo’s upcomingPokémon Sleepinstead.
