News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 1 Mar 2021 9 comments Pokémon has detailed the musical component of its 25th anniversary celebrations, following a well-received virtual concert starring Post Malone. The franchise will release an album of music in autumn 2021 featuring Post Malone, the previously-announced Katy Perry, recent Fortnite collaborator J Balvin and a fourth "surprise superstar artist". Each of the four will release a single for the record, along with a presumably-Pokémon-themed music video and an exclusive merch range.
