Scopely Acquires Niantic, Developer of Pokémon Go

It's a landmark day for Pokémon Go, not due to in-game events, but because of a significant development outside the game. Niantic, the developer behind Pokémon Go, Pikmin Bloom, Monster Hunter Now, and Peridot, has been acquired by Scopely, the creators 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 sealed for a staggering $3.5 billion. As part of this acquisition, Niantic's AR technology division will become a standalone company named Niantic Spatial, which will continue to operate Ingress Prime and Peridot. For fans, this transition should result in minimal disruption to service. However, for those interested in the broader gaming industry, this represents a significant shift.

This merger is a pivotal moment for both companies and could have substantial implications for the mobile gaming community, hopefully in a positive manner.

Given the success of Pikmin Bloom and Monster Hunter Now, alongside the continued dominance of Pokémon Go, it's unlikely that these games will experience any significant disruptions. However, the impact on the broader mobile gaming landscape remains to be seen, and this could mark a major turning point.

With the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest in Europe set to take place in Paris, it's already shaping up to be a significant year for this beloved AR game.
