Pokemon Masters will launch for iOS via the App Store and Android via Google Play on August 29 as a free-to-start game with in-app purchases, according to its App Store page. It will support English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese language options. Pre-registration is available now via each store.

A preview version of the game will launch on supported Android devices in Singapore starting July 25 and will be “coming soon” to Canada. The preview version will allow players to enjoy select content from the game ahead of its worldwide launch without the need to pre-register on Google Play. All progress in the preview version will be saved and carried over into the final version.

A strategy and battle game where players form team of sync pairs (the combination of a Trainer and their partner Pokemon), Pokemon Masters pits players against AI opponents in three-on-three real-time battles.
