“Turn your sleep into entertainment”: The Pokémon Company will release its new game, “Pokemon Sleep,” in the summer of 2023, focusing on a more relaxing activity than its predecessor, sleep.

Trailers for the new game suggest that it combines a smartphone sleep tracker with a game.

“The longer you sleep (…) the more Pokémon will appear around Snorlax,” the company said, urging players to “rest better!”.

Launched in 2016, Pokemon Go has become a global phenomenon.

The free-to-play game uses satellite locations, graphics, and cameras to overlay animated characters in real-world environments, challenging players to capture and tame “creature monsters.”
