The Pokémon Company has teased a 25th anniversary celebration for next year.

In a recent tweet, The Pokémon Company revealed that a 25th anniversary celebration will kick off next year. While details are scarce, the company revealed a new logo to commemorate the anniversary, as well as a tease for more details for the “very special upcoming celebration”.

The 25th anniversary was teased during Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in Manhattan, US.

Remakes of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl have been rumoured to be arriving next year, alongside the confirmed release of a new Pokémon Snap title. Releases this year consisted of two new expansions for Pokémon Sword and Shield, as well as multiple smaller entries such as a League Of Legends styled MOBA.

Nintendo also celebrated Mario’s 35th anniversary earlier in the year, commemorating the event with multiple games and other surprises, including a remastered version of three classic 3D Mario titles. Next year will also see Zelda’s 35th anniversary, sharing the same space as the Pokémon celebrations.

For Pokémon fans, the online-multiplayer inspired game TemTem is hitting PlayStation systems next month. Entering in an early access format, players will get a taste of the game that PC players received at the beginning of the year.
