Pokemon GO Confirms Ultra-Rare Times Square Mewtwo Will Return for Players
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Scopely Explore has confirmed that Pokemon GO's ultra-exclusive Times Square background Mewtwo will eventually return to the game, easing community frustration over limited live event drops.
Pokemon GO developer Scopely Explore has confirmed that one of the mobile game's most exclusive and sought after digital items, the Times Square background Mewtwo, will eventually make a return for the community. Originally tied to an exclusive live event in New York City that recreated the iconic moment from the game's very first trailer, the reward featured a perfect 100% IV Mewtwo paired with a unique location background. Because the physical gathering was capped at roughly 2,000 participants due to obvious venue and logistical limits, the heavy exclusivity sparked understandable frustration among the wider player base who missed out on the drop.
Fortunately, developer communication this week has brought some relief. While an exact date is still under wraps, the team has explicitly stated that the coveted Times Square background will be attainable again down the road. Whether it returns for a future anniversary milestone or another major community event remains to be seen, but it is a welcome shift for players who value digital ownership and rare collector items in their live service games.
