Composer Ramin Djawadi Scores Cinematic Trailer, Teasing Pokémon GO’s Highly Anticipated New Feature
BELLEVUE, Wash. — Oct. 14, 2024 — The Pokémon Company International, in collaboration with Niantic, announced the upcoming launch of Gigantamax in Pokémon GO, which will debut on October 26, 2024. This new mechanic expands upon the Dynamax feature introduced on September 10, 2024, allowing select Pokémon to grow and change their appearance during battles.
Players will encounter Gigantamax Pokémon during limited-time events, starting with Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. These Pokémon will be more difficult to battle than other Dynamax Pokémon, requiring teamwork with other Trainers.
The new trailer for Gigantamax features a score by Emmy Award-winning composer Ramin Djawadi, adding an epic soundtrack to match the scale and intensity of the battles. Created by The Pokémon Company International, the trailer delivers a cinematic experience that reflects the grandiose nature of Gigantamax.
“Gigantamax is larger than life and the perfect opportunity to compose this epic theme for the Pokémon GO trailer,” said Djawadi. “We endeavored to create a theme that parallels the hero’s journey. As tensions rise in the shadows of these gargantuan Pokémon, players come together for an unforgettable experience as they overcome the impossible.”
Fans can view the new trailer on the Pokémon GO YouTube channel and the official Pokémon YouTube channel. For more information about the Pokémon GO mobile game, visit PokemonGOLive.com.
