It's been awhile since news about the "Pokemon Go" gameplay have circulated the Internet, and despite the release date information remaining unclear, recent speculations suggested that it will be out by July.

The free reality-augmented game for iOS and Android was discussed during Nintendo's live event at E3 2016. There was a Q&A session conducted by Niantic developers.

It was reported that Nintendo's game designer and producer Shigeru Miyamoto was caught off-guard when was asked about the estimated launching date. He unintentionally spilled the information related to the game's accessory device availability by "end of July."

In response, Pokémon Company CEO and President Tsunekazu Ishihara said, "Mr. Miyamoto, I think you just announced the release date of the Go Plus device," according to Tech Crunch.

"And, obviously that means we've gotta have the application out there ahead of time. So, we're going to have to work hard to get it ready for everyone," as continued.

The company confirmed that the bracelet-type accessory for the "Pokemon Go" called Pokémon Go Plus will cost $34.99.

The wearable device was developed for the player's convenience in not constantly checking their phone if a Pokémon is nearby. The gadget will notify them by flashing a red LED light if it detects a creature within the location, reported by The Verge.

In addition, Ishihara also verified that the mobile game's trade feature will not be present at the launch but will be included afterwards.

On the other hand, Niantic Labs developers cleared the air and declared that there's still no official release date scheduled for the mobile game app for iOS and Android.

Meanwhile, in order to find Pokémons, the app will utilize the user's phone location information and each will be discovered according to their equivalent habitat.

In capturing a creature, two small circles will surround the target and they have to aim their Pokeball towards it when the inner one is at its smallest, according to Paste Magazine.

As of the moment, fans have to wait for further information to be announced by Nintendo and Niantic developers about "Pokemon Go's" official release date.
