Niantic announces partnership with Nintendo on new augmented reality ‘Pikmin’ title
Nearly five years after the launch of Pokémon Go, Niantic announcedMonday that they are partnering with Nintendo to co-develop a new title based on the company’s Pikmin franchise.
“The app will include gameplay activities to encourage walking and make walking more delightful,” a press release from Niantic reads.
Pokémon Go has fallen out of headlines but has continued to deliver massive sums to the San Francisco gaming company, eclipsing $1 billion in revenue in 2020. In recent years, Nintendo has sought to build out their presence on mobile gaming platforms with a number of titles playing on some of their biggest franchises, but none of them have reached Pokémon Go’s level of success.
