Pokémon GO is finally getting a release in China a year and a half after the game took off around the world.

Niantic has partnered with Chinese publisher NetEase to bring the game to the country in the second half of 2018, according to the Financial Times.

Pokémon GO was banned in China one year ago due to concerns from the Chinese government over national security and public safety.
