INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Niantic — the company behind Pokémon GO — is back at it with another acquisition.
After acquiring Escher Reality back in February and
Matrix Mill back in June, this morning the company announced it acquiring Seismic Games.
Seismic Games is probably best known for its work
on Marvel: Strike Force, a mobile, turn-based RPG that has players build battle teams made up of all the big names from the Marvel comic
universe.
Niantic two biggest games of the foreseeable future — Pokémon GO and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite — both rely heavily on
So acquiring a team that already has a wealth of experience with licensed IP — specifically, a team that can walk that fine line of
building enough new content to keep the players happy without doing something that sets off the IP owners — makes sense.
