Pokémon GO developer Niantic today revealed that the title is undergoing beta testing in Japan.
“From today, Japanese residents are invited to field test Pokémon GO,” a translated Google Plus post reads. “We’ll give you information about the lottery system and invitation based on your device and experience of real-world gaming you’ve had so far. Those invited will be sent the details via email, however for those who have not received an invitation please stay excited as we are gradually expanding the field test.”
We’ll have more on western availability as it becomes available.
