Mamoswine joins the Pokemon Unite roster with the newest update, but there is still no indication as to when Sylveon will be added.

Pokemon Unite developer TiMi Studios has announced that Mamoswine will be added to the MOBA's ever-expanding roster of Pokemon in the game's next update. It will also include at least one bug fix, and there might be some small balance tweaks as well.

Mamoswine was announced as coming to the multiplayer title in August, along with beloved Pokemon Sylveon. However, there has been no announcement as to when the Fairy-type Eevee evolution will be added. Adding characters to any MOBA can change team lineups and alter meta strategies, making Mamoswine's arrival a big deal for any Pokemon Unite player.

Mamoswine will be added to Pokemon Unite this Wednesday, September 29. As with every new addition to the multiplayer title, Mamoswine is not a free Pokemon Unite License, and will have to be purchased from the Unite Battle Committee in-game store. Licenses cost between 6,000-10,000 Aeos Coins or 345-575 Aeos Gems. However, like previous new Pokemon, Mamoswine will most likely be included in the weekly rotation of Licenses that players can try out in Standard and Quick matches.

The official Pokemon Unite Twitter account also revealed that the Crustle Unite Move glitch will be fixed with the Mamoswine update, but have given no indication if the new Lucario bug seriously affecting Ranked matches will be addressed. Most updates come with slight balance changes, so while it is likely to have one this Wednesday, the game just recently received a big balance in its last update less than a week ago. No massive changes are likely to occur, but the introduction of Mamsowine could alter established tactics in a big way.

It's exciting to see another character, but a lot of players were hoping that Sylveon would be added before Mamoswine. As an Eevee evolution, the Fairy-type Pokemon is a lot more popular than Mamoswine. Hopefully the developers don't keep people waiting as long as Blastoise fans had to. The popular Gen 1 starter was announced as additional content before Pokemon Unite released in July, but wasn't added until September.

It's the move-set that draws most Unite players to a character however, so as long as Mamoswine proves to be a solid member of any Unite team, or plays in a particularly interesting way, its popularity with Pokemon fans might actually increase.

Pokemon Unite is available now on Mobile and Switch.
