Two of Niantic’s flagship projects go live together today as the company announced that Niantic’s social app Campfire will be available within Pokemon Go.
Campfire allows players of Niantic games to team up to complete tasks or mark specific areas of interest. Within Pokémon Go, players can discover local and remote raids and designate areas with rare Pokémon spawns for other players to find.
Campfire is also adding a new feature, Team Up, to align with the Pokémon Go integration. Team Up allows players to host and join raids hosted by other players within the Campfire menu, rather than relying solely on raid invites.
The Campfire integration comes just in time for Pokémon Go Fest 2023 in three different cities around the world in August. Live events will take place in London, UK and Osaka, Japan from August 4-6, with another event scheduled for August 18-20 in New York City. There will also be a global in-game event next weekend, August 26th and 27th.
Pokémon Go is now available for free on iOS and Android devices. Campfire is available for free on both platforms.
