Niantic wants to do more with Pokemon GO’s story in the future
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 2 Comments
Niantic CEO John Hanke previously indicated that Pokemon GO’s lore would be expanded in the coming months. However, in an interview with Polygon, senior product manager Tatsuo Nomura mentioned that it isn’t a top priority currently. That’s simply because Niantic is “a very small team and we can only do so much at once.”
Nomura added:
“It’s not like we’re forgetting [about the characters], but it’s just resource-wise, what we are doing next … Do we do multiplayer and gen two versus putting out more narrative?. So far, it’s not being our focus, but we are not leaving it behind. I personally still want to think a lot more stories behind them and narratives.”
Niantic is currently focusing on building new functionality of Pokemon GO. This includes trading as well as other multiplayer features.
