Pokémon Go developer Niantic acquired by Monopoly Go developer Scopely

Author : Peyton Update：Mar 19,2025

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.

Looking Ahead

For a deeper dive into the financial details, visit our sister site PocketGamer.biz. This acquisition represents a major change for both companies, potentially impacting fans in significant, hopefully positive, ways.

Given the success of Pikmin Bloom and Monster Hunter Now, alongside the continued dominance of Pokémon Go, service disruptions seem unlikely. However, the long-term effects on the mobile gaming landscape remain to be seen—this could be a pivotal moment.

With the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest in Paris, it's already shaping up to be a big year for the popular AR game. If you're planning to rejoin the hunt for iconic pocket monsters, check out our list of Pokémon Go promo codes for an extra boost.
