Bloomberg said Niantic, a company of a popular augmented reality game Pokémon Go, cited an anonymous source and is trying to sell the game development business.
The company is reported to sell its deal with SAVVY GAMES Group for $ 3.5 million for $ 3.5 million.
Niantic and Scopely did not immediately respond to the request.
Niantic was one of the few companies that could build a game by successfully using augmented reality cutting. The first title, INGRESS, was widely praised for its unique geographic territorial control, but the company gained a reputation with Pokémon Go and took off in 2016 and became a global phenomenon.
Subsequently, the title was relatively successful, but not the size of Pokémon Go. In 2022, the company closed four projects with 8%of its employees. Harry Potter: Wizard Union. In 2023, 230 employees were dismissed and canceled NBA and Marvel -related games.
Last year, the scan app was updated to create a real object model and provide data to developers. In November, the company said that he would like to build a large geographic space model that uses machine learning to “understand the scene and connect to millions of scenes around the world.”
