Pokémon Go’s Future Is in Saudi Arabia’s Hands as Savvy Group Looks to Acquire Niantic’s Gaming Unit
Pokémon Go is the most successful augmented reality game since its launch in 2016, and it seems a big change is in the cards for the game. Niantic Inc., the game’s developer, is reportedly in advanced talks to sell its gaming division to Saudi-owned Scopely Inc. for a whopping $3.5 billion. The deal is not yet finalized so take it with a grain of salt. And maybe pray.

If the acquisition goes through, Pokémon Go and other Niantic titles like Ingress and Monster Hunter Now will be under Scopely’s control. As you’d expect, the majority of the community is already preparing for the worst as the fate of the game might be changing hands.
