The funding news comes just weeks after the developer announced it’s working on a Harry Potter-themed AR game.
Pokemon Go maker Niantic has caught itself $200 million in funding.
Niantic confirmed a Wall Street Journal report Friday that it’s raised a whopping $200 million Series B funding round led by Spark Capital. Additional investors include Founders Fund, Meritech, Javelin, You & Mr. Jones and NetEase.
“This round enables new strategic opportunities and enhances our ability to make long-term investments in augmented reality and the Niantic real-world platform,” Niantic CEO John Hanke said in a statement.
Maybe the funding round will be the magic needed to make new details about the Harry Potter game appear.
