Acquisition will welcome Niantic’s entire game team, including tenured leaders Kei Kawai and Ed Wu; beloved games “Pokémon GO,” “Pikmin Bloom,” and “Monster Hunter Now”; and companion apps and services “Campfire” and “Wayfarer” to Scopely’s diverse portfolio. Niantic games delight over 30 million players a month and drove more than $1 billion in revenue in 2024.

It would be funny/interesting if, in an effort to grow the player base, they brought back the same settings implemented for COVID (when the game was super popular) and made it accessible to disabled people again.

I know a few people that had to quit the game when Niantic reverted back to “normal” gameplay after lockdowns ended. Idk, maybe this won’t be entirely crap; probably will be, but it would be nice if it weren’t and improved things instead.
