Pokémon GO - Launch Roll-out
In an interview with the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, the launch roll-out for Pokémon GO has been revealed. In this interview, Tsunekazu Ishihara, head of the Pokémon Company, says that the app will rollout in Japan, Europe and North America first and then launch in South America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. No date has been revealed as of yet. In this interview, Mr. Ishihara also stated that they are working on another big project away from Pokémon GO.
Edit: The article has been retranslated and while there is an implication of staggered launch, it's not absolutely confirmed and still a bit up for interpretation and not confirmed either way. We'll bring more news as it comes.
