Is Pokemon Go World of Wonders free? That’s what some Pokemon fans are wondering after many players got excited about the upcoming season.

Niantic’s Pokemon Go made a huge splash when it was released in 2016, and while the hype died down after some time, the game continues to enjoy a massive fanbase.

This is thanks in part to the continued release of big new updates, which come in the form of seasons.

All You Need to Know about Pokemon Go World of Wonders 2024

Pokemon Go’s seasons feature began in December 2020. Seasons in live-service games are common, but Niantic’s implementation is interesting as it’s tied to the real-life seasons in temperate climates.

After the Timeless Travels season, Pokemon Go is now gearing up for World of Wonders, the second season of 2024, which will last for another three months.

This upcoming season was unveiled via a new trailer released earlier today. Even though it’s only a 15-second-long teaser, it does give fans a good idea of the new Pokemon that are coming.

Even though the trailer didn’t share much in the way of specific details, fans can look forward to more news soon. After all, its expected release date is just days away.

Is Pokemon Go World of Wonders Free?

For those wondering if Pokemon Go World of Wonders is free, the short answer is yes; playing this new season is free.

Pokemon Go itself is a free-to-play game, meaning you don’t have to spend any money to play and enjoy it. This extends to the seasonal content, which also allows players to capture new Pokemon.

That’s not to say all of the new content is entirely free. After all, seasons typically come with premium paid content. For instance, the Timeless Traveler season’s GO TOUR events required payment.

Thus, World of Wonders is also expected to have some paid content such as experiences or in-game items. The main season should still be free to all players though.
