With this deal, several major titles and services have joined the Scopely portfolio, including:

• Pokémon GO
• Pikmin Bloom
• Monster Hunter Now
• Campfire
• Wayfarer

Alongside these games and community-focused platforms, over 400 Niantic employees will be transitioning to Scopely. So far, operations appear to be continuing without disruption.

Niantic has also reached out to members of the Community Creator Program with following:

“We are happy to share with you that Niantic’s game business is officially part of Scopely now that the deal has been finalized. It’s business as usual for the Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom and Monster Hunter Now teams. We have a lot of exciting content lined up for the rest of the year and look forward to sharing the details soon with our incredible community of players.”

The Scopely acquisition was first announced on March 12, 2025, marking a relatively swift turnaround by corporate standards. Valued at $3.5 billion USD, the deal has now been finalized.

At the time of writing, the Niantic Spatial team has not released an official statement, and there have been no reports or rumors of layoffs. In the absence of any disruptions, it appears that operations are proceeding smoothly.

Pokémon GO is the hard carry.
