Polygon reports: “The rumors were true. Niantic’s games division, which makes the augmented reality megahit Pokémon Go, has been sold to mobile gaming powerhouse Scopely for a whopping $3.5 billion. As confirmed by Niantic, Scopely, and the Pokémon Go team, the deal will see the entire Niantic Games operation snapped up by Scopely, which among many, many other things makes Monopoly Go — one of the few mobile games to achieve the same stratospheric level of success as Niantic’s flagship.”
