The Pokémon Company has finally revealed some details on its most anticipated product: Pokémon Sleep. The mobile app was first announced in 2019, and today, during a livestream, the company revealed a pair of trailers that show off the actual experience.

Pokémon Sleep doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s slated to launch this year on both iOS and Android.
