While no official comments have been made as to what will be covered during the press conference, it could have something to do with a new Pokémon game from mobile game company DeNA announced recently. The company has partnered with Nintendo in the past as well, releasing Super Mario Run for mobile platforms in 2016. DeNA plans to “launch a new and exciting smartphone game this fiscal year based on the globally popular Pokémon franchise, in partnership with The Pokémon Company,” according to DeNA’s 2018 operating results.
Whether you’re more excites about some news about Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, or hoping for the next big thing from the Pokémon Company, the wait is incredibly short for both.
