Niantic says Pokemon GO is “not only healthy, but it’s growing”

Believe it or not, Pokemon GO is still alive. In fact, this year will mark 8 years since the game originally launched, and Niantic is already beginning to look towards the game’s 10th anniversary in 2026. Senior vice president of Pokémon Go Ed Wu even discussed the matter in a brand new interview with Eurogamer.

Wu said that “it’s bananas to think this thing is going to be going into its next decade soon. It’s not only healthy, but it’s growing. And we’re putting a lot of investment into ensuring it’s a great game and has really firm foundations for the next 10 years. As we gear up for that 10th anniversary, we want a refresh that’s befitting that next decade. We’re refreshing our avatar system next with a more improved experience, updated assets – a modern system that can offer more customization”.
