It's a significant day for fans of Pokémon Go, though not for in-game events, but due to a major development outside the game itself. Niantic, the creator behind Pokémon Go, Pikmin Bloom, Monster Hunter Now, and Peridot, has been acquired by Scopely, the developer of the popular Monopoly Go! This acquisition means that most of Niantic's successful titles are now part of Scopely's portfolio, under their parent company, Savvy Games Group.
The deal was finalized at an impressive $3.5 billion. As part of this acquisition, Niantic's AR technology division will become a separate entity called Niantic Spatial, which will continue to manage Ingress Prime and Peridot. For fans, this transition is expected to have minimal impact on the service, but the acquisition marks a significant shift in the gaming industry.
For those interested in the business aspects, our sister site PocketGamer.biz offers in-depth analysis. This merger is a pivotal moment for both companies and could potentially reshape the mobile gaming landscape in exciting ways.
Given the success of Pikmin Bloom and Monster Hunter Now, alongside the continued dominance of Pokémon Go, these games are unlikely to see any disruption. However, the broader implications for mobile gaming remain to be seen, promising an intriguing future.
With the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest in Europe set to take place in Paris, 2025 is already shaping up to be a monumental year for this beloved AR game.
