Pokémon just announced another studio to focus on the upcoming Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket mobile game! Read on to learn more about the announcement and info about the new studio.
Pokémon Has a New Subsidiary to Focus on Pokémon TCG Pocket
Repurposing DeNA to a New Studio
The Pokémon Company has recently announced that they have repurposed DeNA Digital Production Co. Ltd. to the Pokémon Card D Studio, as reported by Serebii. This subsidiary will be primarily focused on developing and maintaining the upcoming Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket for mobile phones. Additionally, the studio will be co-funded by both DeNA and The Pokémon Company, with a 66-33 split, respectively.
DeNA was the proponent behind Pokémon Masters EX, another successful mobile game under the Pokémon banner that was released in 2019. Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket was revealed back in February as part of the Pokémon Presents livestream and is scheduled to be released in 2024.
Not Completely Out of Pocket
While we don’t have much to go on other than the game being a digital version of the Pokémon Trading Card game, The Pokémon Company has reassured fans that they have not developed or approved any Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) of any kind regarding the cards themselves. They reiterate that any NFTs featuring the Pokémon IP are unofficial and not endorsed by the company or the Pokémon brand.
