Canceled Safari Zone Pokémon Go events will go ahead in the future when it’s safe to do so, Niantic says
Pokémon Go players who were disappointed by the cancellation of Safari Zone events can now breathe a sigh of relief. Niantic, the company behind the popular mobile game, has assured players that these events will be rescheduled and take place in the future.
The Safari Zone events, which were originally scheduled to happen in St. Louis, Liverpool, and Philadelphia, had to be canceled due to concerns over the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, Niantic is keen on giving players a chance to experience these events once it is safe to do so.
Niantic’s CEO, John Hanke, stated that the company is actively working on rescheduling the Safari Zone events. They are closely monitoring the situation and will be following the guidance of local health authorities to ensure the safety of players and staff.
In a recent blog post, Niantic also highlighted the success of the first-ever virtual Safari Zone that took place in Philadelphia. This event attracted trainers from all around the globe, allowing them to enjoy the Safari Zone experience from the comfort of their homes. Niantic plans to continue hosting virtual events and expand them in the future.
While players eagerly await the rescheduled Safari Zone events, Niantic encourages them to participate in various in-game activities and enjoy the ongoing events that they have set up. This includes limited-time challenges, raids, and increased spawn rates for certain Pokémon.
Niantic’s commitment to rescheduling the Safari Zone events demonstrates their dedication to providing the best possible experience for players. By prioritizing safety and adapting to the current situation, they ensure that Pokémon Go enthusiasts can continue to enjoy the game while staying safe.
As the world gradually recovers from the impact of the pandemic, players can look forward to the excitement and thrill of the Safari Zone events in the future. Until then, Niantic continues to innovate and offer engaging experiences within the Pokémon Go universe.
