Pokémon Go creator Niantic wants to connect the world within its games

The proposal of this social network, then, is not aimed at the mass public, but at those who are already users of a Niantic app, who also seeks to improve the gaming experience, since from there they can connect with friends. that are already in the game.

Although he did not give details about it, during his participation in the BIG Festival in São Paulo, Leonardo Wille, manager of emerging markets for Niantic in Brazil, said that he intends to improve the relationship between players both in the digital world and in the real.

Some of the tools of this application include private messaging between users or between groups of friends, which is especially useful for carrying out joint tasks. In Pokémon Go, this will be used to carry out raids, which are battles in which many people participate at the same time.

It will also be possible to send a location of a place in the real world in case something important is happening there, as well as add a “flare”, that is, a signal to show that something is happening in that place in the game.
