More Anniversary Content Coming to Pokémon Unite

Pokémon Unite reached its first-year anniversary a little over a month ago. That same day marked the start of an ongoing celebration event that’s been filled with new Unite licenses, limited time modes, and plenty of other events happening at the same time.

A handy Vol. 1 schedule was used as a roadmap at the start and covered what was happening until the 1st of September. Another schedule was laid out a couple of weeks later to cover some newly announced events taking place until the same date. We now have a new video and a new schedule going over the rest of the anniversary content.

First are three new Unite Licenses. Available from the 2nd of September is the Unite License for Mew. A unique feature of this ranged mythical Pokémon is that it has more learnable moves than others, and is even capable of relearning moves in-game. Mural fragments can be collected in Mew’s Mural Challenge to unlock their event license.

Presumably like the Icy Glaceon Challenge, Mew’s unite license should be available in the shop if players happen to miss out. Moving on, the second Unite License is with Dodrio being added on the 14th of September. Two weeks later on the 28th of September, we’ll see the addition of a Unite License for Scizor.

Attention Trainers! Starting on 9/2, all Ranked and Standard battles will move to the new map, Theia Sky Ruins. Look forward to more intense battles and teamwork than ever before! #PokemonUNITE #UNITE1st pic.twitter.com/60xkjgQNdX

A new map named Theia Sky Ruins is also being added on the 2nd of September and will be where standard and ranked battles take place from now on. The map itself will have multiple legendary Pokémon including some of the Legendary Titans and Rayquaza.

Aside from returning events and campaigns, the other big piece of content will be Legacy Trainer Showdown Mode. Set to arrive on the 9th of September and to last until the 6th of October, this mode features popular trainers across generations who will challenge you with their ace Pokémon, such as Leon and his Charizard or Cynthia and her Garchomp.

Considering this latest schedule doesn’t have a teaser for more to come, and that adding a new map is a pretty big change, this is likely the final significant update for the anniversary event. It can also be inferred that players will have until the 12th of October to reap the benefits from this anniversary event as that’s the last date listed on the schedule below. Further corroborating this is that since the event first started, players have been able to receive five preset unite licenses just for logging in over five days, and that offer has been set to end on the 12th of October.
