Smash hit smartphone app Pokémon TCG Pocket will add its first big expansion of fresh cards in late January, according to a new leak.
A datamine of the game’s event schedule posted by Centro Leaks suggests the game’s currently-untitled first expansion will arrive on 29th January – with the caveats that final dates are still subject to change.
That current plan would mean a roughly three-month window between the launch of Pokémon TCG Pocket and the arrival of a flurry of new cards – which feels about right?
That said, there’s also suggestion of a special booster pack due for launch in December – which points to a smattering of extra cards arriving slightly sooner to tide fans over.
Other upcoming additions to Pokémon TCG Pocket spotted in the datamine include a new card rarity, and rare picks being added to the Wonder Pick mechanic.
Pokémon TCG Pocket looks to be off to a great start, with $12m earned over the game’s first four days and more than 30m downloads after a week.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is heavily built around the opening of trading card game packs, though you can also play a simplified version of the classic trading card game via the app as well.
Last week, Pokémon TCG Pocket launched its Genetic Apex Emblem Event, adding fresh missions and a smattering of rewards. Looking to get ahead? Here’s our Pokémon TCG Pocket tier list for the best Pokémon cards, Trainer cards, rental decks and decks.
