New details of Pokémon Go were made available overnight.

The augmented reality game on both iOS and Android will require a wearable Bluetooth wristband in order to catch ’em all. You can take a look at the wearable thanks to NintendoTweet:

The wearable will pair with your iOS or Android phone and will alert you of nearby Pokémon and other events by flashing and vibrating. The wearable will be manufactured by Nintendo.

Pokémon Go will be a free download on iOS and Android in 2016. No word yet on how much the wearable will set you back.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
