Niantic announces major Pokemon Go event in Sao Paulo, Brazil! At gamescom latam 2024, Niantic revealed exciting news for Brazilian Pokemon Go players: a massive city-wide event in Sao Paulo this December! Details are limited for now, but expect a Pikachu-filled takeover.
The announcement, led by Alan Madujano (Head of Operations in LATAM), Eric Araki (Country Manager for Brazil), and Leonardo Willie (Community Manager for Emerging Markets), highlighted Pokemon Go's immense popularity in Brazil. To enhance the player experience, Niantic is collaborating with Sao Paulo's Civil House and shopping centers to ensure a fun and safe event.
Further improvements are planned nationwide. Niantic is partnering with Brazilian city governments to increase the number of PokeStops and Gyms, ensuring broader accessibility and enjoyment of the game.
Brazil's significance to Niantic is undeniable, especially since the price reduction of in-game items led to a revenue surge. A locally produced video celebrating the game's impact further underscores this success.
