Pokémon Go developer Niantic has been acquired by Scopely, the creators of Monopoly Go, in a staggering $3.5 billion deal. This acquisition brings Niantic's popular games, including Pokémon Go, Pikmin Bloom, Monster Hunter Now, and Peridot, under Scopely's umbrella.
This is significant news for Pokémon Go fans, though primarily impacting the business side rather than in-game experiences. Niantic's AR technology division will operate independently as Niantic Spatial, retaining Ingress Prime and Peridot. While minimal service disruption is expected for players, this marks a substantial shift in the mobile gaming industry.
