Niantic Reps Reaffirm that ‘Pokémon GO’ Will Remain the Same as Before Under New Owners

As you know, Pokémon GO has become one of the biggest mobile games of all time. Ever since its 2016 debut, the game has been growing significantly and is now a part of the lives of many of its players.

While the game has not been without its critics, Niantic, the company behind the game, has generally been doing its best to listen to the players and to improve the game in a proper way.

Recently, though, Niantic was sold to new owners, and in light of that fact, many fans have been worried that it might lead to significant changes to the game and its infrastructure, which would make the whole experience worse.

Immediately after the sale, Niantic reassured fans that the game wouldn’t be experiencing any changes, like in-game ads or more paid content, which would destroy the whole experience the game is built on.

But, despite that, not everyone believed it immediately, and the fear of the game taking a turn for the worse is still present. And while the future is always unpredictable, Niantic is once again doing everything they can to reassure fans that the ” direction of our game will not undergo any major changes under the influence of Scopely.”

“They will just be supporting its further improvement, and we will keep doing what we’ve been doing since the beginning,” Ninantic’s Japanese reps added. “To put it more bluntly – please rest assured that we will not be shutting down the game.”

This is certainly reassuring and we sincerely hope that these remarks will prove to be true in the end.
