Pokémon GO heading to Japan, Europe, North America first

Serebii has recently reported that Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun has learned where Pokémon GO will launch first.

Unsurprisingly, the augmented reality title will launch first in Japan, accompanied by releases in Europe and North America. Regions like Africa, Asia, South America and the Middle East will receive the game at a later date.

An exact release date is not yet known, nor if Australia will be lumped in with Europe or Asia. We’ll, of course, keep you posted.
