More proof that this game is only still chugging along because of the Pokemon branding:
>SOUCE: CATAN – World Explorers will not be rolling out to more countries and instead will be closing up shop in the coming months. Niantic Inc's latest AR explorer game never made it out of beta and is expected to shut down permanently before the end of the year. Sources tell us low player retention is the main factor in the company's decision. Players have been complaining for weeks about multiple bugs in the game, which likely led to the dwindling of the active playerbase.
>Niantic Inc's other popular IP, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, is facing similar development and playerbase problems as well. Insiders tell us Niantic Inc is expected to end the game some time in Q1 2022. The once popular AR game was thought to be on the same trajectory as Niantic Inc's most popular game: Pokémon GO, but player retention issues have plagued the game for over a year now. Experts estimate HPWU has lost over 90% of its initial playerbase, and expect that number to rise.
lmao Hanke is nothing without PoGo.
