"Pokémon Go" might be set to arrive very soon.

According to Movie News Guide, recent rumors currently place the probable release date of the augmented reality title for sometime around February of next year. "Pokémon Go" is also rumored to be launching at the same time as "Pokémon Z."

For now, rumors about the release date of both games are still unofficial since Nintendo has refrained from releasing any official statements.

The good news is that fans will probably have more official details about the game on hand very soon.

According to iDigital Times, the November issue of CoroCoro magazine teased that its next edition would be revealing some major Pokémon news. The teaser also hinted that the news would be related to 2016.

As of now, the magazine has not hinted at what kind of news they will be unveiling in their next issue, and in the past, the publication has stuck to revealing Pokémon movie details for their year-ender edition, but there is growing belief that things will be different this time around.

Fans now believe that the upcoming news will be related to upcoming video games, more specifically, the reveal will concern both "Pokémon Go" and "Pokémon Z."

In any case, fans won't have to wait too long if their guesses are correct, since the December issue of the CoroCoro magazine is due to come out on Dec. 15.

In related news, John Hanke, a serial entrepreneur currently in charge of Niantic Labs ("Pokémon Go's" developer), also revealed some details about what fans can expect from the upcoming game. According to Hanke, players will be able to see various kinds of Pokémon simply roaming in the environment around them, meaning they could show up in different places at any time.

More details about "Pokémon Go" are expected to be made available soon.
