After more than a year of gameplay bonuses designed to make Pokémon Go easier to play during the pandemic, developer Niantic has laid out a detailed roadmap for how it will remove, replace and adopt these changes in the future.
As for the new exploration bonuses, Niantic said it would make them available “as it’s safe to do so”.
But changes will be made on a country-by-country basis, Niantic has said, and in the short term there will be new temporary “exploration bonuses” for countries which lose the pandemic changes soon.
These exploration bonuses will change at the end of the game’s current season (on 1st September).
