The smash-hit mobile game Pokemon Go will launch in Japan on Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday on its digital edition, citing people familiar with the matter.
McDonald’s Holdings Co (Japan) will participate in the introduction of the game in Japan and will make its restaurants key locations for players, it said.
Pokemon Go is an augmented reality game in which players capture the virtual pocket monsters known as Pokemon, who appear onscreen when users hold up their smartphones in real locations.
The game was jointly developed by Nintendo Co, Pokemon Co and Niantic Inc. It has already been launched in the United States and many other markets.
