Pokemon GO update might introduce global Halloween event

Although many Pokemon GO players have stopped playing Niantic's game for good or only play occasionally, there are still quite a lot of people that have become addicted and can't wait for developers to add new features and improvements to the mobile title.

One such update might have already been silently pushed to Pokemon GO, on both the Android and iOS platforms, which is supposed to introduce the first secret event for this game. The event is supposed to take place on the Halloween day, October 31, but it's very possible that the event will last for at least a couple of days.

The only indication that we now have regarding the secret event is a cryptic message that Niantic posted recently on its Facebook page.


So, we can expect unique Pokemon to make their debut around Halloween, which players will be able to capture and share the encounters with their friends.

We expect more details about the Halloween event that Niantic plans to kick off in Pokemon GO on October 31 in the next couple of days, so stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
