Pokemon Go and Monster Hunter Now developer Niantic is laying off at least 68 employees, weeks after selling it's game development efforts for $3.5 billion by Scopely.
We're just over a year away from Pokemon Go's 10th anniversary, and since launch the game has been a massive success, with developer Niantic going on to make games for the likes of Pikmin, Monster Hunter, the NBA, and a terrible series of books. Most of these games have also gone on to become successes in their own right (although obviously not to the level of Pokemon). Eventually culminating in Niantic's gaming studios being sold for $3.5 billion by Scopely (which is part of Saudi Arabia's Savvy Games Group).
