Wow, this is a huge move! Scopely dropping $3.5 billion to snag Niantic’s games is wild. Pokémon Go has been a cultural phenomenon for years, and adding Monster Hunter Now and Pikmin Bloom into the mix just ups the ante. It’ll be interesting to see how Scopely plans to handle these franchises. Are we going to see new content or updates? The potential for crossovers or new features could be insane! I just hope they don’t mess with what makes these games so special. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
