Pokemon Go release delayed in France following Nice attack - CNET

Pokemon Go is taking over Europe, but there's one country it's yet to arrive in: France.

The makers of the game confirmed to IGN France on Monday that they were delaying the launch of Pokemon Go in the country following the Nice terror attack this weekend.

"As a sign of respect for the French people in this time of national mouing, the release of Pokémon GO is postponed," said the Pokemon Company in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with France and the victims affected by this terrible attack."

The release had originally been scheduled for Friday, when the game launched in the UK and other European countries. It is not yet known when Pokemon Go will finally be available to French phone users.

The Pokemon Company, Niantic and Nintendo did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
