Det er ikke nogen hemmelighed at Niantic og The Pokémon Company virkelig har ramt en guldmine med Pokémon Go, og vi har set den ene imponerende statistik efter den anden, siden spillet udkom tilbage i juli måned. Den nyeste statistik viser os nu, at spillet faktisk er nået over 500 millioner downloads.
"The phenomenal success of Pokémon GO during the brand's 20-year celebration is an incredible reminder of how many people around the world love Pokémon. The team at Niantic developed a unique experience that merges their expertise in cutting-edge location-based technologies with the beloved characters and classic gameplay of Pokémon. This ideal match of the right brand and the right technology has resonated with hundreds of millions of existing and new fans around the world."
Siger Tsunekazu Ishihara, CEO for The Pokémon Company.
"The globally loved Pokémon brand paired with Niantic's platform and game design that encourages exploration, exercise and making real world social connections has inspired millions of people of all ages to go outdoors together. We are encouraged by the fast adoption of the game and are pleased to see so many people walk and play every day. Pokémon GO for Apple Watch will be another way people can incorporate the game into their daily lives, even more seamlessly."
Fortæller så John Hanke, der er CEO for den anden halvdel bag det succesfulde spil, Niantic, Inc
Spillet blev også vist frem på gårsdagens Apple-event, da det senere på året vil blive tilgængeligt på Apple Watch.
