Pokémon Go launch in Japan postponed after email leak

Game-maker Niantic has postponed today’s scheduled launch of Pokémon Go in Japan following an email leak.

Yesterday we reported that the game was due to go live in Japan today (Wednesday),
but the companies behind Pokémon Go have canceled that plan after internal communication from McDonalds Japan, the game’s sponsor, detailing the launch made its way to internet forums (including 2ch, “Japan’s Reddit”) and photo site Imgur.

An initial morning launch time was pushed back to early afternoon as the email went viral.
Later, however, the companies decided to cancel today’s launch entirely, a source close to the plans told TechCrunch, due to concerns that the hype generated would overload the game.
There’s no immediate word on when the game will finally go live in Japan, but newswire Nikkei is reporting that the new date is tomorrow (Thursday). We understand that the launch is “imminent”.

The postponement will frustrate many in Japan who are still waiting but, on the positive side, Niantic, Nintendo and the Pokémon Company
― the three firms behind the smash game ― are confident that, if the game is launched right, their serves can handle the undoubtedly huge demand that Pokémon Go will generate in Japan.
Ninatic CEO John Hanke previously cautioned that the company needed time to ensure it had enough servers to cope with a deluge of Pokémon addicts in Japan.
