It is now clear: You have only a few days left until the arena shutdown in Pokémon GO. Remember your coin rewards!
In the coming days, Niantic will deactivate the arenas in Pokémon GO to prepare the game for the arena overhaul. A specific date has now been set. You have only a few days left until the gyms are deactivated.
Update Monday 11:50 AM: The arenas are still active. If you haven’t collected your defender bonuses yet, you should hurry.
Pokémon GO arenas will close on June 19
As part of the one-year anniversary of Pokémon GO, there will be some changes in the game. One of these changes is the overhaul of the arenas in Pokémon GO. A few days ago, the developers explained that the arenas will be temporarily closed for this rework. However, they could not provide a specific date at the announcement.
On social media channels, Niantic announced today, on June 17, that the arenas will close on June 19. By Monday, you should have collected your defender rewards.
Niantic did not specify a exact time for the shutdown. To “be safe,” you should collect your defender bonuses from the arenas by Sunday evening at the latest.
Typically, events in Pokémon GO start in Germany at 10:00 PM, but we cannot guarantee that the arena shutdown will start this late for us.
When the arenas are shut down, your Pokémon will be sent to your accounts. You cannot collect your defender bonuses during the shutdown; you must do that before the shutdown begins.
When is the arena rework coming?
Niantic is shutting down the arenas to prepare for the overhaul of the gyms. One can assume that shortly after the shutdown, the arena rework will be announced or incorporated into the game. The developers have not yet provided a specific date.
We will inform you as soon as we have more news about the gym rework in Pokémon GO. For more information, follow our Facebook page for Pokémon GO or join our Facebook group for Pokémon GO.
