"Pokémon Go" continues to extend its reach to other parts of the world. More countries in Europe can now experience the game. Unfortunately, Asia is not in the list.
The most awaited app finally makes its way to the public garnering of more than 4 million downloads on its first day. Unfortunately, their services are limited to some countries as of this time which somehow disappoints some of their hopeful fans. However, Niantic, developer of "Pokémon Go", gave their fans a sign of hope as they are continually adding new countries to the list that can access the app, Polygon reported.
In the latest update on their official Facebook page, it was announced that they had released "Pokémon Go" to twenty-six new countries across Europe and now downloadable on Play Store or App Store. These countries are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, and Switzerland, Attack of the Fanboy reported.
Upon this release, United Kingdom, Germany and Portugal are now united by this huge list of European countries that had received "Pokémon Go". While New Zealand, Australia and USA was the first three countries to experience the game by the time it was officially out.
It was being reported that Asia will be the game's next target but as of now, there are no further details to back up that claim. It was a shocker that Japan, the franchise birthplace, haven't receive any access to the game yet. Perhaps, their servers needs to be boosted in order to reach the biggest continent.
Asia have a great potential to be the biggest market for every type of game especially Pokémon as mobile gaming is dominant on most of the Asian countries like Japan.
Niantic continues to post updates on their official Facebook page to keep their fans updated to the development of the game and its releases. As of now, fans are still hopeful that their country will be included on the next updates.
