Mobile gaming company Scopely, the maker of Monopoly Go, is reportedly in talks to acquire Pokémon Go for $3.5 billion.
The potential deal comes after Niantic, the creator of Pokémon Go, signed a deal with Savvy, Scopely's parent company, to expand the game's reach in the Middle East.
Scopely's successful game Monopoly Go has generated over $2 billion in revenue, while Niantic has struggled to replicate the success of Pokémon Go with other franchises.
The future of Niantic's other games, such as Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now, is uncertain under Savvy's management.
