As her break from Twitch continues, popular streamer Imane "Pokimane" Anys has updated her community on the streaming schedule for the rest of the year. In recent months, Pokimane has been taking time off from Twitch streaming and content creation to focus on mental and physical health, and prior to the schedule update, she provided the community with more information about her journey in a YouTube video.Pokimane confirmed a Twitch return coming in the near future in a tweet sent to her community on October 27, in which she expresses that she misses streaming. Since returning to Twitch in September after a separate break from the platform, Pokimane quickly stepped away again to focus on her personal life which may have yielded positive results given her commitment to a new schedule. Before the aforementioned time off, Pokimane was known for livestreaming regularly, and now that Twitch has opened up the door for content creators, she has also branched out more into TikTok and YouTube and established more followers on said platforms.Apologizing to her audience for being "more MIA than expected," Pokimane shared on Twitter that she would be spending the weekend with her parents before returning from her Twitch break. According to her, she will "work for the rest of the year" which may suggest that she's returning to the same Twitch schedule that she followed ahead of her departure despite the other avenues of content she's been experimenting with. Given this information, Pokimane fans will at least be able to catch up with their favorite livestreamer next week to catch up with what she's been doing and what to expect from the channel for the remainder of 2022.
Pokimane's last health update delved into why she started wearing fake teeth, while the last major stance she took on Twitch was against the gambling streams that have been banned since. Her time away from Twitch was intended to help Pokimane get a mental reset, and although she has confirmed a return for next week, it's currently unclear if she has found that resolve or not. Because she has cited burnout in the past as a reason for stepping away, her mental health may also be tied to how much work she had been doing in the past which is something that could see adjustments moving forward.
As many Pokimane fans expressed their enthusiasm for the Twitch streamer and her return to the platform, others stated that she should always prioritize her health over the livestreaming schedule. Multiple Twitch viewers encouraged Pokimane to take her time despite missing the content creator, while some are already anticipating travel and League of Legends streams.
