Just like with previous years that had multiple in-person events, everything will culminate in a global weekend that brings content to players around the globe. This will be the biggest section of Go Fest 2023 and will have a free and ticketed version.
Additional details about all four Go Fest 2023 events will be shared over the next several months, with each likely containing new content tied to whatever storyline Pokémon Go is preparing to build.
Speculation on what that content might be has already started, with some players pointing at the Go Fest logo and saying Diancie might make an appearance as the featured Mythical Pokémon this year.
