The Pokémon Go developer has yet to have a new hit that doesn't include pocket monsters.
Pokémon Go developer Niantic is shutting down its augmented reality game World Explorers: Catan , the company announced on Friday (via protocol ). An AR adaptation of the popular board game Catan announced in 2019, World Explorers It was the company's last attempt to restore its magic Pokémon Go, but that's about to end soon.

It's too bad Niantic's big hit failed because their other entries have been disappointing in our experience. Harry Potter: Wizards Unite at its launch, more than a meaningful evolution of Pokémon Go It looked like a view. There's no reason for Pokémon to be the exclusive breakthrough in AR games, but it looks like Pikachu will remain king until Niantic or another company does.
