This article discusses the new game "All-World" developed by Niantic, the same company behind Pokémon Go. The game uses augmented reality (AR) technology and is focused on basketball, with players able to participate in games and interact with NBA teams and players.
The author of the article, Kyle Wiggers, provides an overview of the game’s features and mechanics, including its use of AR to bring the game to life. He also notes that the game has some limitations, such as freezing issues during the demo and a lack of content at launch.
Wiggers raises questions about whether All-World will be successful in the crowded mobile gaming market and what impact its failure or success might have on Niantic’s business. He notes that Niantic has other revenue streams, including selling its Lightship platform to developers as a paid service, and that GO (the Pokémon Go game) is still generating significant revenue.
The article concludes by noting that the outcome of All-World will be an important test for Niantic’s ability to create successful games using AR technology.
