Razer has a new collaboration in the works with Pokemon, having teased the news on social media. It will be officially revealed later this month.
The gaming company shared a post on Twitter on July 7, with the question, “Are you ready for a new journey?” while tagging the official Pokemon account, along with the date and time of the announcement for July 17 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET. A short video with yellow fonts on a black background with the Razer logo pulsing with electricity suggests that this could be Pikachu-related.
Based on replies from Razer’s account (via PCGamesN), it seems this may be a collaboration that won’t be region-locked, as has been the case with Razer and Pokemon partnerships in the past.
Razer has already previously released gaming peripherals featuring Gengar, Pikachu, and Eevee, but these had only been limited to a few regions, excluding the US. It’s not clear whether this will include past collab products or something completely new, but wider availability will certainly be appreciated by Pokemon fans who haven’t been able to get hold of a Pokemon keyboard or mouse, at least not without braving scalpers.
There’s plenty of other partnerships Razer has with other major gaming brands, including Minecraft and Roblox, but a new Pokemon partnership will no doubt be a very hot item. That also comes ahead of the next Pokemon Presents Livestream happening on July 22, where we expect there will be more news on Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
