The authors of Pokémon Go Cancelan Catan: an adventure that imitated the style of his previous success

You probably do not ring the name of catan: World Explorers , but I have the certainty that you probably have heard of Pokémon Go. Niantic, creators of this world phenomenon, highlighted as a developer study thanks to a collaboration that caught the attention of millions of people . A proposal whose bases tried to replicate in Catan, but with a more calm proposal . However, after a launch focused on Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Switzerland and Singapore, Niantic has reported that cease the development of its next game .

We complicate a bit and we move away from the original idea of ​​Catan Niantic so they said it through a statement on its website, where they regret the cancellation, but ensure that all the knowledge acquired will be used for futures Projects . Catan intended to make the world a game board where vegetables could be cultivated, exchanging with other players and, ultimately, create a game that will change each month. However, they have admitted that such an idea was too ambitious : We are very proud of the game we have done, but we complicated a bit and we move away from the original idea of ​​Catan.

Therefore, it has already been confirmed that the catan servers will stop working on the day November 18 , while today the possibility of downloading the mobile game will be eliminated, as well as making payments through the application . To make this farewell something less bitter, Niantic has announced some events that will happen over the next few weeks and that aim to facilitate the full game experience to all players. And, for those who have gold in their account but do not want to spend it, they can transfer it to their Pokémon Go profiles.

With this, it is an end to an idea of ​​Niantic that I was trying to collect some of the most characteristic bases of Pokémon Go. However, this is neither by far the end of the developer, since they are still carrying out updates to Pokémon Go, such as adding new creatures and attending to community requests, and they have several projects between hands , Like Harry Potter: Wizards Unite or the recently announced Transformers: Heavy Metal.
