In Pokémon GO there are news about the maximum level. Matt Slemon, Product Manager at Niantic, commented on the importance of experience points after level 40.
What is it about? Currently, the maximum level in Pokémon GO is level 40. Experience points earned thereafter continue to count, but they are no longer relevant.
Now, Matt Slemon revealed in just one sentence something that trainers from all over the world wanted to know: Experience points will remain relevant even after level 40.
This is what Niantic says about the maximum level
What this statement is about: In the press briefing for GO Fest 2020, there was a Q&A session. The developers were asked whether experience points will still matter after level 40.
Matt Slemon responded with: “I say ‘yes’, but that’s all I can say about it at the moment.”
What does this mean for players? We now know that Niantic still has a plan for the maximum level. Even during GO Fest 2020, Niantic told us from MeinMMO in an interview that they are working on an expansion of the level cap. However, they want to find ways to ensure that many trainers do not immediately reach the new maximum level.
An increase of the maximum level has been long desired by trainers. After all, more and more trainers are reaching level 40 and no longer earn experience points in a targeted manner. A new maximum level could bring excitement back into the game.
A few months ago, dataminers found clues about a possible increase. Rewards that could be earned on the way to level 50 were discovered.
However, one must be a bit cautious and temper the enthusiasm. After all, it was just a brief sentence from the developer and it is still unknown when a possible expansion will be implemented.
Matt Slemon also revealed to us that 2 corona adjustments will remain in the game longer. This allows for more effective play and also benefits from these bonuses even after the corona period.
