“Trainers,
I’m Ed Wu and I have the privilege of leading the Pokémon GO team at Niantic. Today I wanted to share some important news: Pokémon GO will be joining Scopely, a video-game developer and publisher home to a wide range of leading games and talented teams around the world.”
The Saudi Arabia based company Scopely, known for developing and publishing MONOPOLY GO, has acquired Niantic’s entire games division. The division notably develops mobile titles like Pokémon GO and Pikmin Bloom. At the current moment in time, nothing will change with development of either Nintendo mobile game, but it’s unclear what the future holds for them given where exactly Scopely is located.
