Pokémon Go maker Niantic has announced NBA All-World, a new real-world smartphone game designed around the culture of basketball.
NBA All-World is one of several Niantic apps currently awaiting full release, alongside Transformers: Heavy Metal and cute virtual pet game Peridot.
“NBA All-World represents an industry first in sports games, as an original, real-world mobile game that will appeal to casual and core NBA fans alike,” Niantic senior producer Marcus Matthews said.
As with other Niantic apps, the game is designed to encourage and reward players for getting off their sofa and out into their local area.
